Bonuses

Physics workers will be paid Michigan minimum wage plus a bonus when a work report is emailed to physics@andrews.edu within 24 hours of each work period. Also send a copy of the work report to your supervisor.
Bonuses range from $0.50/hour to $2.75/hour based on the sum of the following:

Years worked for the department
Exceptional quality exceeding departmental standards (+1)
Exceptional speed exceeding departmental standards (+1)
Exceptional reliability exceeding departmental standards (+1)
Special responsibility (e.g. RESA work or supervisory duties) (+1)

The bonus rate is calculated by the bonus level times $0.25/hr plus $0.50/hr for the work report itself being submitted promptly. The bonuses will be paid at the end of the semester or more frequently. Minimum wage is always paid, regardless of whether a bonus is added.

Work reports summarize what you have accomplished. Include a few details like class name, lab number and topic, work type, which assignments graded, equipment setup, repairs made, problems noted, supervisors requests, names of students helped, or problems encountered.

Here’s a sample work report:

SGL: Quite a few groups did not realize that on the cookie problem the amount of radiation for each cookie is the same. Because of this, it took them a couple tries to get it. Otherwise, for the most part it was fairly straight forward.
Quiz 15 - Graded, entered, returned.
Uploaded info from the scanners and put in grades for SGL -SGL planning
Worked together to create the SGL for tomorrow.

Email subject must be in the following format: WORK REPORT yymmdd Joe Lastname.

Reporting late time

Any late time needs to be submitted within two weeks of the day worked. Bonus will not be given for any time submitted after that time. Please use this form to record and submit your late time.

- A specific enough description of the nature of the problem so that the equipment repair assistant (ERA) can repair it
