Since I've heard that your scheduled for 30 hours per week, how long are each of the shifts per day? 6 hours? How long is your break usually? Do you have to punch out during your break?
I will be doing Custodial so do I have to notify someone that I will be taking my break?
Hi packwingfn! I did the CP for summer 06... an option that is sadly no longer available and I was in QSFB, but I have a lot of friends in custodial. They are actually on the DIS, but are lurkers and are probably reading this
Anyway, I was
always scheduled for 40 hours or more per week. This works out to be "8 hours" a day spread over 5 days. With this plan, you would have two days off that will generally vary from week to week, although it is possible to request certain days off as long as you follow the correct procedures early enough.
Now, I say "8 hours" in quotes because you actually remain punched in, on the clock for 8.5 hours. The reason being is that on an 8 working hour shift, you get 60 minutes of break - 30 paid and 30 unpaid. The computer system automatically takes out the 30 minutes of unpaid, so you do not need to clock-out to go on break. So you actually work 7.5 hours, get paid for .5 hour of break and get an extra .5 hour break that is not paid. It is pretty simple. In some cases, you need to report to a clocking location afterwards so that the system knows you are done with your break.
Depending on the area you are in, you may be assigned to take your break all at once or divide it in parts - it just depends on where you work. When I worked in Epcot foods, I was assigned to take my break all at once. However, when I work Magic Kingdom merchandise, my breaks were split up for me.
When you work less than 8 hours, you generally get 30 minutes of break (all paid) and when you work greater than 10 hours, you should have 75 minutes of break (30 minutes paid).
Usually, someone will come and "releive you" or otherwise inform you that it is your time to go on break. Although, it is possible in custodial that you may have more flexibility to take your break based on when you complete your assigned tasks. In those situations, you might be asked to radio your manager and inform him/her that you are going on break.
That's a lot of information. You will learn a lot more about the clocking system and breaks when you report to your location the first time for "OJT" or On-the-Job Training.
so I've been reading through all 65 pages and its making me sooo excited, though Im jealous because I'm not even i college yet
