Division Employee Frequently Asked Questions

As a supervisor, what is my responsibility if I receive reports or observe an employee violating the policy? 
You are empowered to hold employees accountable to Division policy expectations. First, explain the expectations outlined in the policy and provide appropriate resources. If there are continued violations, identify the impact of the employee’s actions and manage it appropriately. You are encouraged to contact your direct supervisor for help with how to address matters of non-compliance.

Can I go off campus during my breaks to smoke?
Hourly staff should be mindful of the length of their breaks in accordance with their department’s attendance policy. Employees should not trespass, loiter, or litter on public or private property to smoke during breaks. Please respect Frontier Collegiate Institute’s neighbors. 
If you don’t have time to walk off campus during your break, check out the cessation  available to staff and student employees. A list of resources is available via website links outlined in this document.
 
Am I able to attend tobacco cessation sessions during paid work time?
Frontier Collegiate is supportive of tobacco users who desire to quit using tobacco products. Options for attending tobacco cessation sessions are based on the department’s Campus  needs and may include flexible scheduling in accordance with the Frontier School Division use of leave time in accordance with the Divisions Paid Leaves and Unpaid Leaves policies. Submit these requests for leave in a timely manner and schedule the time in a manner that is least disruptive to the administrative unit. Keep in mind there are various types of cessation resources; approval for time away from work to participate in a cessation program is subject to approval by the department.  Departments also may consider providing additional cessation resources and education to their staff.
