1. If you are not able to pick up your paycheck, who is able to pick it up for you?

Explanation

If you are not able to pick up your paycheck, your supervisor is able to pick it up for you. As your supervisor is responsible for overseeing your work and managing payroll, they have the authority to collect your paycheck on your behalf. This is a common practice in workplaces where employees may be unable to personally retrieve their paychecks due to various reasons such as illness, travel, or other commitments.

2. What happens if timesheets are not submitted on time?

Explanation

If timesheets are not submitted on time, the paycheck will be delayed. This is because timesheets are used to calculate the number of hours worked by an employee, and without this information, the payroll department cannot accurately calculate the amount to be paid. Therefore, the processing of the paycheck will be delayed until the timesheet is submitted and the necessary calculations can be made.

Submit
3. Statement: I should let the UM Libraries know if my address has changed.

Explanation

The statement suggests that it is necessary to inform the UM Libraries about any change in address. This is important because the libraries may need to send important notifications, updates, or materials to the correct address. By notifying them about the address change, individuals can ensure that they receive all relevant information and materials without any issues.

Submit
4. ________ is of the utmost importance in accessing library databases. Anyone who violates this policy may be dismissed from employment, or may be referred to the campus for appropriate disciplinary measures.

Explanation

Confidentiality is of the utmost importance in accessing library databases because it ensures that sensitive information and data stored in these databases remains secure and protected. Maintaining confidentiality helps to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure of personal or sensitive information. Violating this policy can have serious consequences, such as dismissal from employment or disciplinary measures, as it compromises the privacy and trust of library users.

Submit
5. What do you do if you are injured on the job?

Explanation

If you are injured on the job, it is important to notify your supervisor. This is necessary to ensure that they are aware of the situation and can take appropriate actions. By informing your supervisor, they can provide you with the necessary assistance, such as medical attention or filing an incident report. Additionally, notifying your supervisor helps to establish a record of the incident, which can be important for insurance purposes or any potential legal actions.

Submit
6. What do you do if you know of a theft that has taken or is taking place?

Explanation

If you know of a theft that has taken or is taking place, the best course of action is to notify your supervisor or campus police. They are the appropriate authorities who can handle the situation and take necessary actions. Locking all the doors and searching customers or attempting to find and hold the thief can be risky and potentially dangerous. It is important to involve the proper authorities to ensure the safety of everyone involved and to handle the situation in a legal and appropriate manner.

Submit
7. Who determines your duties and responsibilities for your department?

Explanation

Your supervisor determines your duties and responsibilities for your department. As the person directly overseeing your work, they have the authority to assign tasks and set expectations for your role. They are responsible for providing guidance, feedback, and support to ensure that you are fulfilling your job responsibilities effectively. While UM Libraries Human Resources and the Dean of Libraries may have some influence or input in determining overall departmental goals and policies, your supervisor is the primary decision-maker when it comes to your specific duties and responsibilities.

Submit
8. How long does it take to receive your first paycheck?

Explanation

The correct answer is three to five weeks because it typically takes a few weeks for the payroll process to be completed. This includes the time for the employer to process the necessary paperwork, calculate the employee's earnings, and arrange for the payment to be made. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that it will take a few weeks before an employee receives their first paycheck.

Submit
9. Statement: The Libraries accept responsibility for the safety of personal property.

Explanation

The statement is false because libraries do not accept responsibility for the safety of personal property. While libraries may have security measures in place, such as surveillance cameras or lockers, they typically do not guarantee the safety of personal belongings brought into the library. It is the individual's responsibility to safeguard their personal property while using library facilities.

Submit
10. What library resources may not be used for personal reasons?

Explanation

All of the above library resources, including equipment, staff computers, and office supplies, may not be used for personal reasons. This means that these resources are strictly meant for library-related purposes and should not be utilized for personal use.

Submit
11. Pick the answer that is NOT a reason a student can be terminated from employment in the UM Libraries.

Explanation

The reason "Student is from a different country" is not a valid reason for terminating a student from employment in the UM Libraries because it is discriminatory and goes against equal employment opportunities. It is illegal to terminate an employee based on their nationality or country of origin.

Submit
12. How many hours are you able to work on your weekly schedule?

Explanation

The correct answer states that the number of hours you are able to work on your weekly schedule is 20 hours during the fall and spring semesters, and 40 hours during the summer. This suggests that the individual has different availability for work during different times of the year, with more hours available during the summer compared to the fall and spring semesters.

Submit

Explanation

You can get forms for setting up your direct deposit at the Library Human Resources Office.

Explanation

If you need assistance accessing your electronic timesheet, you should contact your supervisor. Your supervisor is responsible for managing and overseeing your work, including any issues or questions related to your timesheet. They will be able to provide guidance and support in accessing and navigating the electronic system.

Submit
15. Statement: There is a dress code in the Libraries.

Explanation

The statement states that there is a dress code in the libraries. However, the correct answer is false, indicating that there is no dress code in the libraries.

Submit
16. What do you do if you receive a sexual harassment complaint from a customer?

Explanation

If you receive a sexual harassment complaint from a customer, it is important to take it seriously and address the issue appropriately. Ignoring the customer's complaint would not only be unprofessional but also fail to address the problem. Calling campus police may not be necessary in this situation as it is more suitable for immediate physical threats. The most appropriate action would be to notify your supervisor or the Library Human Resources Office, as they are responsible for handling such complaints and ensuring a safe and respectful environment for everyone involved.
