As Revised/Approved by Board May 1998
- All members, except boarders, are required to do 10 (ten) hours
of work party per term. (Members joining later or leaving before the
end of the term required to do one hour of work party for each week or
portion of a week that they reside there.) Boarders are not required to
do work party.
- Of the required 10 hours, 5 (five) must be non-fluff, 2 (two)
must be community service, and the remaining (3) three can be fluff,
non-fluff, or community service, as the member wishes.
- To clarify fluff and non-fluff:
- FLUFF WORK PARTY: tends to be either a particularly simple task
or things that will only benefit the house for the current term (week
or day). Examples are moving and stacking a pile of wood, party
security, random cleaning, tabling for members, etc.
- NON-FLUFF WORK PARTY: tends to benefit future co-opers as
well. Permanent improvements or alterations are non-fluff. Periodic
maintenance or cleaning tasks that elude the job chart or exceed job
hours. Examples are spraying moss off the roof, cleaning range hoods,
patching walls, necessary painting, building permanent structures, and
excess historian work.
- The Building Czar has the final say on what is fluff and what
is non-fluff. If okayed by The maintenance committee a co-oper may
perform non-fluff WP at the house they do not reside in. Any Building
Czar that exceeds the work party requirement for credit must submit
his/her tasks to the maintenance committee for non fluff approval. The
maintenance committee consists of the SCA Maintenance Cord, Building
Czars, handy folk, and interested co-opers.
- The work party is to be completed before or during that term.
All work party must be completed by midnight on the Friday of finals
week.
- All work party should be pre-approved by the house building
czars. Completed work party must be submitted in written form to the
building czar for credit. In addition, work party may be approved by
all SCA committee chairpersons, the CAR Rep, SCA Chairperson, and/or
the Speaker/Education Coordinator, but cannot be approved by the job
coordinator.
- Each building czar must submit a completed work party list to
the SCA Business Office at or before midnight on the Friday of finals
week. This list should include all members of that house. Work party
fines and credits will be listed where appropriate. All work party fine
and credit forms must be documented in triplicate. One copy goes to the
member, one to the house records, and one is submitted to business
office along with the list.
- Each member will be fined $5.00 for every uncompleted hour of work.
- To receive rent credit a member must first satisfy the
required number of hours with non-fluff work party. Then s/he will
receive $3.00 rent credit per hour of non-fluff work party performed
thereafter. Building czars have the final say on what is considered
fluff and non-fluff. There is a maximum work party credit of $100.00
per calendar year per member.
- Excessive fluff and non-fluff can be counted towards a future term's WP requirement.
- Normal day to day jobs performed over interim (dishes,
toilets, plunging toilets, etc.) are not WP. Aside from that, interim
is a good time for WP.
