Kitchen Choreshift

General Reminders:

Regular shifts: Per UCHA policy, all kitchen workers are required to work 3hrs 40 mins per shift. They are given a 10 minute grace period that can be distributed in any increment to any of the shift ends or beginnings (coming late, long break, leaving early) so long as the total amount of time equals or is greater than 3:30. Any additional time will be debited including the grace period which is forfeited once the lower limit of 3:30 is breached.
Closing Shifts: For closing shifts there is no total amount of time that must be worked due to the nature of the shift, they are allowed to leave early if all tasks are completed. But they can still be debited if late or if they leave earlier than the rest. The 10 minute grace period is still in effect for the beginning of the shift. Keep in mind that workers on the 5-9 shift take their breaks at five and only sign in at 5:20, so debits would begin at 5:31.
Breaks: All workers are required to sign in/out for breaks. Missed sign in/outs are subject to a $5 fine.

Reminders:

There are no janitors at UCHA! Ongoing bathroom cleanliness & hygiene is a group effort; we must each do our part to maintain clean spaces.
Sign up for our bathroom cleanings at the beginning of each quarter through the member portal.
If you miss the bathroom cleanings sign-up deadline, the crew chief will automatically assign you to 3 co-op bathrooms. They won't necessarily be in your hallway or building.
If you have questions during your bathroom cleaning shift, get help from the bathroom crew member on duty.
Private bathrooms are also subject to inspections to ensure basic hygiene and cleanliness.
Missing your scheduled bathroom cleaning will result in a deficiency and a $20 fine.

Your choreshift can be rescheduled in the Member portal, or through emailing AMO (amo@ucha.coop).

● Temporary Changes: Requires notice at least 2 days in advance.

● Permanent Changes: Requires notice at least 1 week in advance.

Credit Shifts:

Take credit shifts if you are deficient and need to make up the hours.
For the kitchen if you are AT OR BELOW 8 hours of deficiency you can walk into the kitchen and ask the KC if there are any credit shifts available, if you are ABOVE 8 hours of deficiency AMO will work with you to schedule credit shifts until you are at 8 hours. For other crews they may offer credit shifts at their own pace if extra help is needed, talk to your crew chief if there are any available.

Covering a shift:

A cooper can UNOFFICIALLY “offer” or “swap” their shift for monetary compensation as long as the person covering is also a registered member of the co-op. This practice is subject to private negotiation and is handled by the coopers involved at their own risk. If you feel wronged by a fellow cooper please contact MemCom for uncooperative behavior.
