Office Policies

The following are the day-to-day policies for running the CSC Office. They are set down by the Office Manager or, should there not be a current Office Manager, by the AVP.

Respect Other People

1. Don't be rude towards other members, even if someone is causing issues. Office Staff are expected to handle any such situations maturely.
2. Respect people's boundaries and try to avoid making people uncomfortable. If someone asks you to stop, be respectful. Office Staff have the final say.
   1. Be considerate when discussing or making jokes about sensitive topics such as sex, suicide /self-harm, or politics.
3. Respect others' privacy. Don't touch others' devices or other property without permission.
4. Keep the noise level in the office at a reasonable volume, especially during business hours.

Respect the Space

1. The space is for people, not bags. If you leave your bag on a chair or table and someone needs the space, they take priority over your bag.
2. CSC/Office Staff are not responsible for any loss or theft of property. If you choose to leave things here, you do so at your own risk.
3. Do not leave food in the office and clean up your garbage when you leave.
4. The stapler is only to be used inside the office or outside of the office for club business.
5. Disconnect from the music queue before you leave the office (otherwise people in the office will hear audio distortion from your device attempting to stay connected). Share the queue and keep music at a reasonable volume.

Strictly Banned Behavior

1. No sleeping in the office.
2. No sex in the office. (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-46, s. 173 (1))
3. No illegal activities in the office.

Office Moderation and Operations

1. There must be an Office Staff present at all times while the office is open.
2. Office Staff are expected to moderate the office environment. Office Staff should deal with issues professionally and not make situations worse.
3. Any significant incidents, such as harassment and repeated infractions of more minor rules, must be reported to the Office Manager, even if resolved.
4. If there are people in the office, the doors should be open. Office doors must remain unblocked for safety reasons.
