Things to keep in mind when supervising student employees:

• Remember they are students first
• Establish a work schedule
• Be as flexible as possible when considering schedules and requests for changes
• If you need to make schedule changes, give as much notice as possible
• You do not have to grant requests for changes in work schedule

---

If things are not working out:

• Communicate with the employee verbally
• Explain what the problem or difficulty is
• Discuss together what can be done to correct it
• Indicate what the consequences could be if the problem is not corrected (ex. different assignment, loss of responsibilities, change in schedule, reduction in hours, etc.)
• Further discussions, leading to possible termination
