Objectives:
In order to fix the problems at hand, the problems need to be
highlighted and addressed. Despite the fact the SAC uses a program
called "ShiftPlanning," that organizes work schedules and time off,
there is still miscommunication between the employers and the
managers. Often times employers don't show up for their shift or come
in late. This causes others to work extra shifts without notice, or have a
building manager fill in for an employer. This can also benefit people
unfairly by paying them time they didn't work. Being able to improve
employee moral would be half the battle, ensuring everyone that they
are being treated fairly. There are many plausible solutions to each of
the problems at hand.
Solution:
Many issues need to be addressed to make the Student Activity Center
run without as many glitches. Overall improvement in communication
is the key for the facility to operate in a professional manner.

don't show up for their shift even when no one picked it up.
Some students also log time that they did not work. They drop
their shift, but still get paid for those hours. I don't believe
ShiftPlanning should be discarded all together; instead add an
application to the mix. "WhenIWork," is an online scheduling
application that can be used on your phone and computer. This
app provides many features that could clear up much of the
concern in the workplace. One feature of the app allows you to
clock in and out. This clocking feature would prohibit others from
getting paid for hours they didn't work. This would also provide
notifications for other employers when someone wasn't coming
into work, or wouldn't be on time.
