Other Important Information

End of Term Termination (it’s not as scary as it sounds)
Anyone not planning to return to the prep lab after spring semester will be terminated on the day of spring commencement. Those of you that are not planning to work over the summer, but will return for fall, will be terminated at the end of the semester. Anyone that is working over the summer will be terminated at the end of the summer semester. This will be done so that we can put everyone into new positions that have a differential pay scale based on your start date. Starting pay will be $13/hr. After one calendar year students will be paid $13.50. Students top out after two calendar years, or a promotion to a lead student assistant, with a pay rate of $14.00/hr.

Spring 2025 Schedule
We will continue to follow a modified version of our spring schedule until Reading Day. We will close at 6:30 PM on Tuesday and Thursday. We will not have anyone scheduled to work on reading day, but anyone wanting hours is welcome to drop in. Our end of semester party will be on reading day, April 22nd, from 4-6pm. Everyone will be required to work a minimum of 4 hours during finals week. Sign ups are open now on Teams. Slots are first come, first served.

Fall 2025
As mentioned in a previous message, the fall 2025 schedule is now open on Teams for everyone returning in the fall. The application for fall 2025 is also now open for anyone interested in joining our team: go.osu.edu/au25preplabapp

Shift Switches Sub-Chat
We have created a specific sub chat for shift switch requests. This is based on the feedback we received in the pre-spring break survey. We hope this will help streamline use of the GroupMe, which current matters staying in the main chat, and requests (and replies) for shift covers going in the sub chat.

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Best,
Tyler
