created as a land-grant college in 1872, today’s Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
University encompasses a wide-ranging food service system, offering the utmost in quality,
nutrition, environment, and choice.
Virginia Tech’s Dining Services serves approximately 7 million meals per year in 10 dining
facilities. It is the largest single employer on campus with more than 2,100 employees.
The total budget for this department is more than $50 million. Food cost represents more
than $14 million, labor and benefits expenses more than $17 million, and other general
expenditures in excess of $9 million.

HISTORY OF DINING SERVICES
The First Halls
In 1881, the university began mandating students to live on campus. Rasche Hall and the
multipurpose Pavilion building served as the mess facilities. “Mess hall” was the early term
used to describe where one ate a meal on campus.
The new German Hall, located on what is now the Center for the Arts, was opened in 1894
to replace Rasche and the Pavilion. The German Hall remained as the campus dining hall
until 1937 when Squires Student Center temporarily provided meals in anticipation of the
opening of a new modern facility—Owens Dining Hall.
Shultz Dining Center opened in 1961 adjacent to the first mess hall site, and was named
after the university’s first mess steward, J.H. Shultz. It supported the programming and dining needs of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets until its closing in 2012. The Shultz Express
opened in 1999 in the Shultz mezzanine, which included a hot bar option that combined
buffet and grab-n-go service.
The New Undergraduate Facility (NUF) was built in 1982. The name was changed to
Cochrane Residence and Dining Hall in 1998. This unit was small in comparison to the massive size of Dietrick. Its cozy atmosphere provided a sense of home to approximately 330 of
Virginia Tech’s students.

Clothing plays an important role in the professional appearance of Dining Services employees. Guests seeking assistance rely on our uniforms and professional attire to identify each
of us as a staff member. A quality appearance improves our guest’s perception of us as
Dining Services employees.
Staff members will wear the appropriate uniform for the area to which they are assigned.
Staff members will be informed what their specific uniform requirements will be by their
unit’s management during the orientation process. Employees shall be properly dressed
and prepared to work at the beginning of their shift. No paid time is allotted for changing
clothing at the beginning or ending of shifts.
Staff members will maintain their own uniforms in a professional manner. Uniforms shall be

of a staff member’s uniform.
All staff members who come into contact with food or food service areas are required to
wear approved hair restraints. Disposable gloves are to be worn when handling food.
Safe footwear reduces an employee’s risk of injury and provides for safer handling and

shoes must wear them during each shift or be responsible for the cost of the shoes. Any
staff member who decides to quit or is terminated after working for three months may keep
the shoes. However, if the staff member quits or is terminated before working for three
months, then the staff member will be charged for the purchase price of the shoes.

reflecting the professional nature of Dining Services. Guidelines are made on a functional
department level with the approval of the Director of Dining Services.

ATTENDANCE AND LEAVE POLICY
This attendance policy applies to salary employees only. This attendance policy does not
apply to student wage or wage employees.
Introduction
The mission of Dining Services is to support the academic mission of Virginia Tech by
providing exceptional food and service to our students, faculty, staff, and guests. The
department relies on its employees to perform the necessary tasks that are required
to satisfy our responsibilities to our mission. When a person is absent, the work is still
required so co-workers must do their job, plus the absent person’s work. Therefore, it is the
responsibility of all employees to report to work as scheduled.
Dining Services also recognizes the needs of its staff to be absent at times. (The
Commonwealth of Virginia provides various types of paid leave for salary staff to cover those
times of absences. These leave types are covered by associated state policies and will not
be discussed here. Please refer to the Staff Manual section on leave for details.) Some
absences can be planned, while others are caused by situations beyond the control of the
employee. These procedures are designed to provide ways employees can avoid being in a
Leave Without Pay (LWOP) situation and/or disciplined/counseled for absenteeism. It also
outlines the department’s requirements for its employees to communicate their absences,
request the use of leave, and schedule leave.
Salary Leave Usage
The state has various types of leave available to employees. It is the employee’s responsibility to use leave as it was intended by the governing policy. It is the employee’s
responsibility to manage their leave so that he/she does not go into Leave Without Pay
(LWOP) status. Using leave in an inappropriate manner may be considered abuse of leave
and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. The employee is
responsible to notify his/her supervisor as to what type of leave to use for the absence. The
supervisor will not make that determination for the employee, however the supervisor has
the authority to approve or not approve the use of earned leave (annual, holiday, compensatory) to cover sick or personal absences. Supervisors and managers will only approve
the use of “earned” leave for sick or personal absences under extraordinary circumstance
such as for health safety (example: Norovirus) or compassionate leave for death in family. Employees are also responsible for ensuring the accuracy of their leave reports at the time
they sign them. Approval of leave is at the manager’s discretion.
Scheduling Leave
Generally, leave should be requested and approved in advance of it being used. Employees
should request leave in writing using the department’s leave request form. Time off requests
will be considered on a first come, first served basis. It is the supervisor’s responsibility to
maintain an adequate work force; therefore, it is in the employee’s best interest to submit
leave requests in a timely manner. The minimum advance notice for leave requests to be
submitted is as follows:
12

Summer Orientation
Leave normally not approved for these
times due to business demands.
May be granted on a case-by-case
basis with manager’s approval.
The supervisor should respond to timely leave requests within the time frame listed above.
Supervisors have the discretion to deny a leave request if it would place an undue burden
on the department considering the work required to be completed. Requests for leave outside of the guidelines outlined above may be denied at the supervisor’s discretion.
Communicating Unexpected AbsencesIf an unforeseen situation arises and an employee
cannot report to work as scheduled, it is the employee’s responsibility to report his/her
absence one hour prior to the start of the shift by calling the main unit office or alternate
phone number.
Absent for one day: If an employee will be off for only one day, they may leave a voice
message, giving their name and the name of their supervisor one hour prior to the start
of their shift (unless your supervisor/manager states otherwise). If the main office’s voice
mailbox is full, they may call the alternate number or unit manager/assistant director and
report their absence on their voice mail. The unit manager/assistant director will then
contact the appropriate person with in the unit. During inclement weather conditions, if the
unit’s main office voice mail box is full, the employee should continue to try and contact the
unit by either speaking with a manager directly or leaving a message.
Absent for two or more days: If an employee knows they will be absent more than one day,
they must call in to the main unit office or the alternate number one hour prior to the start
of their shift and report their absence. They need to leave their name and the name of their
supervisor, plus the estimated length of time they will be off. The employee is required
to contact their manager within the next 24 hours and must speak with them. If the manager is not available, the employee needs to contact the main office between the hours of
8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to talk with the office specialist or unit manager/assistant director.
The units’ main office and alternate phone numbers are:

If an employee is absent for one day and realizes they will need additional time off, they
must follow the rule for “Absent for two or more days.” When sick leave is being used for
the sick absence, the employee is not expected to divulge medical information. Employees are responsible for keeping the department informed of the anticipated length of their
absence, including employees using VSDP disability leave and FMLA leave. Discussions
with central Human Resources are NOT considered departmental notification. If the leave
is going to be extended, the employee must contact the department prior to the original
return to work date and inform the department of the extension. They must do this for each
extension requested. Failure to do so could subject the employee to disciplinary action.
Doctor’s Excuses
For absences of three days or longer or during a busy time of the year (announced by management via a posting near the time clock), a doctor’s excuse may be required. Employees
should request the doctor to list a return-to-work date on the document and give the excuse
to their supervisor upon returning to work. If a person is filing for FMLA or VSDP disability
benefits, the doctor’s documents should be submitted to Human Resources or to the proper
authority. The employee is still required to notify the supervisor/manager that leave is being
requested under these programs and to keep the department informed as to the anticipated
length of time off.
Vomiting AND/OR Diarrhea symptoms
Any employee who has or lives with someone who has vomiting and/or diarrhea symptoms must remain out of the workplace for 72 hours until after the symptoms have stopped. A doctor’s note may be required for someone experiencing symptoms that persist over a
three day period.
An employee’s first day of missed work of the 72 or more hours, must be a sick or a family
personal day, but each day thereafter can be any type of leave the employee wishes to use.
14
You may not use personal sick if you are out because someone in your household has the
symptoms. You need to call in each day you or a family member is experiencing these symptoms to inform your supervisor.
Abuse of Leave
It is the supervisor’s responsibility to monitor employee attendance, absences and tardiness
for patterns or indications of abuse. Dining Services will use a progressive leave guide to
help employees monitor and address any problems with excessive tardiness and absences.
Tardiness
Being at work in uniform at the start of the shift is considered “on time,” arriving to work
anytime after the shift starts is considered being tardy. Employees may be counseled at the
second and third instances of tardiness within a 30-day period and a fourth tardy may be
grounds for formal disciplinary action.
If tardiness continues for consecutive months, the supervisor may consider this a
continuing pattern and may be cause for more serious disciplinary action and if this pattern
still continues, may be cause for separation from employment.
Absences and Leave
Formal disciplinary action may be taken in the following circumstances:
• Being in LWOP (Leave without Pay) status
• Persistent patterns of absence (for example calling in sick every Friday)
• Improper use of leave types (for example using sick leave when you are not sick)
• Absence issues as outlined in the Standards of Conduct
If abuse is suspected, the supervisor may do the following:
• Discuss the situation with the employee
• Provide the employee the opportunity to share relevant information
• Make suggestions/recommendations on how improvements can be made
• May require a doctor’s excuse for each future time off (if using sick leave), even for
absences of less than 3 days
If abuse is determined and continues, follow proper disciplinary procedures as outlined in
employee manuals.
The Supervisor may notify the employee via a reminder letter (Appendix A2) or other method
when the employee has used half of the available Family Personal and Personal Sick leave
balance and then a reminder letter (Appendix A3) or other method when the employee is
nearing LWOP status (8 hours of Family Personal and Personal Sick leave or less). However,
it is the responsibility of the employee to monitor his/her available leave balances, use the
appropriate leave for the circumstance, and avoid entering leave without pay status and to
arrive at work at the beginning of the work shift.
It is the responsibility of the supervisor/manager to manage employee leave usage, so as to
ensure worker coverage in the work place by maintaining the Accumulative Absence and
Tardiness Record and taking corrective or disciplinary action when necessary.
15
LWOP Status
There may be times when an employee is out of work in a LWOP situation and is not covered
by FMLA or short term disability. Managers should consult with Human Resources before
issuing any written notices.
Injury Off The Job
A staff member who is unable to work due to sickness or injury arising off the job is required
to notify Dining Services of their inability to work as soon as possible. If an employee is
unable to call, he or she should get someone else to notify Dining Services. When notifying
the unit, employees should be sure to talk to an authorized member of the management
team. Only an authorized member of the management team may accept a sick call. Failure
to report to work as scheduled without proper notice to a supervisor may result in disciplinary action.
A doctor’s excuse may be requested for any illness that prevents an employee from attending work. If a staff member’s sickness or disability is long term, their doctor should provide

CLOCKING IN & OUT FOR WAGE AND NON-EXEMPT SALARY EMPLOYEES
In order to promote fairness and accountability for ourselves and others, the following policies regarding time at work are to be observed.
•Employees must to bring their Hokie Passport ID each work day, as it is used to clock in
and out.
•Employees are expected to be in uniform and ready to work when they punch in.
•Employees are expected to clock in and out on time according to their assigned work
schedule.
•Employees are not allowed to clock in more than five minutes prior to their scheduled shift
unless requested by their immediate supervisor/manager.
•Employees must clock out upon being released by their immediate supervisor.
•It is the responsibility of each employee to keep track of hours worked in order to avoid
exceeding allowable hours.
•All overtime must be approved in advance by an authorized supervisor.
•Any problem with clocking in or out should be reported immediately to a supervisor.
•Employees who forget to clock in or out should notify their supervisor immediately upon
remembering.
•For purposes of compensation, the work week begins on a Saturday and ends on Friday,
unless otherwise instructed by an operational department.
•Employees must sign their printed time sheet at the end of each pay period in order to
verify their hours worked and to be paid for those hours. A supervisor will provide these
time sheets to be signed.
Salary and wage employees are not allowed to exceed 40 hours per week, unless instructed by their supervisor to do so. Exceeding 40 hours in one week without approval is grounds
for disciplinary action. DO NOT EXCEED 40 HOURS. It is the employee’s responsibility to
avoid going over 40 hours.
Temporary and 1,450 Hour General Wage Employees
Temporary wage employees are limited to a certain number of days for their temporary hire,
not to exceed 130 days. The prescribed time period is inclusive of Saturday through Friday,
regardless of actual hours worked, beginning on July 1.
Wage employees are limited to working 1,450 hours per year. The year begins January 1
and ends December 31. 1,450 hours is the maximum regardless of how many departments
within the university, or state-wide, in which an employee works during the time period.
Temporary wage employees who later become 1,450 hour wage employees will still maintain their accumulated hours.
MEALS AND BREAKS
All salary and non-student wage employees will be provided meals or meal equivalencies
for the days on which they work a minimum of 5 ½ hours. You are not entitled to meals on
your days off. Employees’ meals are not transferable to a third party.
The employee must clock out before he/she receives his/her meal. If an employee failed/
17
forgot to clock out for a break, he/she must report it to his/her supervisor immediately.
Please have any changes or repairs to your time card made before you clock out for the end
of your shift. Only management is authorized to make changes to a time card.
The duration of an employee’s meal break is determined by the unit manager/assistant
director for his/her operational area. An employee’s meal break will not be less than 30 minutes. Any employee who works more than 5 ½ hours is required to take a 30-minute break.
Two 15-minute non-meal breaks are at the discretion of management. 15-minute breaks are
not guaranteed or required by state policy. Breaks will be granted by your supervisor or
manager only as time and conditions permit. Breaks are to be taken in a designated area.
Staff members must clock out for meal breaks and inform the manager-on-duty before leaving the work area. Staff members needing a break in addition to the scheduled break must
report to the manager first. Breaks are given according to management’s discretion. The use of all tobacco products is prohibited in all Dining Services dining and administrative facilities. This policy is in force at all times and is applicable to all staff, students, and
guests. If possible, individual units will designate an appropriate outdoor location for use
on breaks, which will be at least 25 feet from an air intake, entrance, or exit of any facility,
including parking garages.
All staff members will use their Hokie Passport ID card at times of purchase for payment of
their meal. If you have lost or forgotten your ID card, please report this to your supervisor
immediately. Lost cards can be replaced at the Hokie Passport Office located in 100 Student
Services Building. There may be a nominal charge for replacement.
When eating in a Board Plan Operation, your ID card will cover your meal cost in full. No other
monies are needed. When eating in a Cash Operation, you will receive a meal equivalency on
your ID card worth the current established value. Staff members are responsible to pay any
difference between their meal plan and the cash price of the foods that were selected.
High-cost items in cash operations, such as prepackaged items, may be excluded from
employee meals. Cash operations will have lists of these items. Always retain your receipt
for all food purchased for “proof of purchase.” Any food removed that was not paid for is
considered theft and grounds for immediate dismissal.
Staff members are not allowed to prepare, serve, or ring up their own meals.
PERSONAL PROPERTY
Each unit provides lockers and dressing facilities to the best of its ability, yet lockers may
not be available for all employees. Staff members can ask their supervisor about storage
facilities for personal belongings. Dining Services will not be held responsible for any personal belongings brought into their buildings. Please leave valuables at home. If a staff
member is a victim of theft, he/she should report the incident to their immediate supervisor
and the Virginia Tech police as soon as possible.
18
If lockers are made available for staff, they are subject to inspection at any time by management. No guns, knives, alcoholic beverages, or any illicit or hazardous materials are to
be brought onto Dining Services property.
PARKING
All motor vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, and motor scooters on campus are required to
be registered with the Parking Services Office, located on Tech Center Drive and on the
ground level of the Perry Street parking garage. Vehicles operated by faculty, staff, and students in connection with their employment at Virginia Tech are required to display a parking
permit before parking on campus or on university leased property. Daily permits are available from the Parking Services Office. To register, take your vehicle information and Hokie
Passport ID card to Parking Services on Tech Center Drive to purchase a parking permit.
All first time employees of the university can receive a temporary parking permit. The permit will be valid for not more than 30 days, beginning with the first day of employment. In
order to receive a temporary permit the new employee must bring an employment offer
letter from their department to the Parking Services Office. If you are a salaried employee,
you may arrange to pay for your parking permit through a payroll deduction plan. Please
contact Parking Services for more information. Temporary parking permits are available to
new staff.
The Virginia Tech Police Department provides a dusk-to-dawn service for individuals who
need to walk at night to their cars. For more details on the Safe Ride Service, please call
231-SAFE (7233) for details.
TELEPHONE & VISITOR POLICY
•Personal phone calls and visitors are prohibited while on duty.
• Incoming phone calls are limited to emergencies only. If an employee is unable to receive
the phone call while on duty, a message will be taken and the supervisor will notify the
employee immediately.
• Outgoing calls may not be made on office phones. Office phones are for official use only.
• Visitors are not permitted in work or production areas.
• Visitors are also required to get permission to visit an employee from the manager’s
office of each unit. Visitors should also wait in the administrative assistant’s office for the
employee.
• During work hours, excessive socializing with friends, staff members, and guests is not
permitted.
• Office equipment (e.g., computers and copiers) is not to be used, except when requested
by a manager.
CELL PHONES AND OTHER PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES POLICY
One of the primary goals of Dining Services is to provide safe food and excellent service to
our guests and any distractions that would compromise this goal needs to be addressed. Usage of any personal electronic devices by staff members in the workplace during work
hours is a distraction that could lead to poor service and unsafe food. It is for this reason
that use of personal electronic devices is prohibited in food serving and production areas. 19
Handling of any electronic devices during food production and serving could cause contamination of food and sanitized equipment. •Staff members are not allowed to use personal electronic devices in the production and
serving areas in the unit during work hours. •Staff members should inform their family and friends that staff members cannot utilize
personal electronic devices during their work hours. They are free to give the telephone
number of the unit where they work for emergency calls.
•Personal electronic devices are not to be used and are to be turned “OFF” during scheduled work hours.
•In case of emergencies, the regular unit number must be called and a unit office specialist
or manager (whoever gets the message) will convey the message to the staff member as
quickly as possible.
•Staff members may use personal electronic devices only during their break time and only
in approved dining and break areas.
It is the responsibility of the staff member to fully comply with this policy and procedure, to
inform family members, schools, medical personnel, and others, who may have occasion
to contact them during work hours, of this policy, and provide them with the proper phone
numbers for emergency contact.
It is the responsibility of the management to ensure that all staff members are aware of this
policy and procedure. Further, it is the responsibility of management to ensure that staff are
notified of any important phone calls received as soon as possible.
ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY
Virginia Tech does not tolerate discrimination or harassment on the basis of age, color,
disability, gender, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, or
veteran status. It goes against the university’s mission and threatens the careers, educational experience, and well being of students, faculty, and staff. It is a form of discrimination
and has no place in Dining Services’ facilities. Please refer to the Virginia Tech Anti-Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Policy (Policy 1025, www.hr.vt.edu/harassment) for
further details. This can be found in the Human Resources office in New Hall West or online
at www.hr.vt.edu/harassment. If harassment occurs, please contact your assistant director or the Office for Compliance and Conflict Resolution at (540) 231-8771.
ALCOHOL & DRUG POLICY
In compliance with the Drug-Free Act of 1988, the Drug-Free Communities and Schools Act
Amendments of 1989, the Commonwealth of Virginia Policy on Alcohol and Other Drugs of
1991, and Virginia Tech policy 1020 (Policy on a Drug-free Unversity), all Dining Services
employees are prohibited from the following:
• The unlawful or unauthorized manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use
of alcohol and other drugs on the worksite.
•Impairment on the worksite from the use of alcohol or other drugs (except the use of drugs
for legitimate medical purposes).
• Action which results in the criminal conviction for violating any criminal drug law or any
20
alcoholic beverage control law, or law which governs driving while intoxicated.
Please refer to Virginia Tech’s Policy on a Drug-Free University for further details. All Dining Services staff members are required to read through and sign this policy, which will be
provided by the management at all dining facilities.
IN CASE OF ILLNESS OR INJURY ON THE JOB
All injuries or suspected injuries and illnesses, regardless of severity, that occur on the
job or on university property are to be reported to a supervisor/manager immediately. At
this time, a manager will fill out the necessary paperwork and provide a list of the worker’s
compensation panel of physicians.
Any injury that involves loss of blood or bodily fluids must be reported to the supervisor
immediately and the policy on blood-borne pathogens must be followed to protect ourselves and our guests.
The staff member is responsible for returning a copy of the Physical Capabilities Form and
all other communications to their immediate supervisor and the Return To Work Coordinator. For all illnesses or injuries that result in lost time, the employee must provide the
appropriate information to the Return to Work Coordinator at (540) 231-3463 and the associate director of Human Resources for the Division of Student Affairs in New Hall West at
(540) 231-4281.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Dining Services, through its goals to improve the quality of work and the work environment,
promotes the self-improvement of its staff members through ongoing training and service
growth. Training and employment opportunities will be published regularly and posted in
the units. Training and development seminars and other educational opportunities will be
offered to Dining Services staff members as they become available and as budget allows.
Virginia Tech Human Resources, located in a wing of the Southgate Center building, updates
its campus and statewide employment opportunities on a weekly basis each Friday.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
All employees will receive a periodic Performance Appraisal leading to improved performance, communication, and potential pay increases. The basis of the evaluation criteria is
to let staff members know how they are performing in their jobs. The rating system ranges
from Model Performance, Strong Performance, Developing Performance, and Unacceptable Performance.
Evaluations are based on some or all of the following, depending on your position:
•Safety/Sanitation
•Quality of Work/Organization
21
•Productivity
•Reliability/Dependability
•Attendance/Punctuality
•Initiative/Creativity
•Teamwork
•Customer Service
•Communication Skills
•Appearance/Uniform/Hygiene
•Knowledge of the Job (KSA’s)
Evaluations are very important management tools and should be taken seriously.
RESIGNATION AND TERMINATION
All staff members are encouraged to give at least two weeks notice in writing of their intention to terminate their employment with Dining Services. If you do not provide and work out
a two-week notice, management reserves the right to not rehire you.
You must return all Dining Services and state property before the end of your last day. Be
certain to return all uniforms, keys, ID cards, etc. to the proper authority.
If you would like to talk about either positive or negative experiences within Dining
Services at the time you leave, you may schedule an “exit interview” with the associate director of Human Resources for the Division of Student Affairs in New Hall West at
(540) 231-4281 or with Human Resources at Southgate Center.
CONCLUSION
Dining Services would like to thank all of its staff members for their continued hard work
and contributions toward enhancing this university’s community experience.
Dining Services provides this manual as a guideline for its staff. This manual does not
supersede any policies or procedures set forth by the Commonwealth of Virginia, Virginia
Tech, or the Division of Student Affairs. Dining Services reserves the right to alter or add to
the preceding manual in order to enhance its performance or to comply with state, university, or departmental policy mandates.
Staff members in a food service setting should constantly be aware of safety. Any dangerous conditions that a staff member cannot readily correct should be reported immediately
to a supervisor. Also, all injuries, no matter how slight, must be reported promptly to the
supervisor. All employees are responsible for familiarizing themselves with any equipment,
chemical, or other product prior to using it. Employees should not disassemble, utilize, or
otherwise operate any equipment which they have not been trained and authorized to use.
