WICOMICO COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS CONTRACTUAL EMPLOYEE’S GUIDE Employees who decline the hepatitis B vaccine will sign a waiver. Employees who initially decline the vaccine, but who later wish to have it may then have the vaccine provided at no cost. USE OF EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES Basic Tools and Equipment Employees are expected to take proper care of all equipment with which they work and to make every effort to utilize materials wisely.

The tools will be repaired and/or replaced by WCPS as fair wear and tear demands. Those job classifications that require special tools will have them provided by WCPS. Employees who are furnished tools by WCPS will return them intact upon demand by the appropriate supervisor or pay for them.

Fire Drills Statement In case fire occurs, each employee must act immediately and know exactly what actions he is to take. Regularly planned fire drills are held under the direction of the school administration. Participation in such drills is mandatory and failure to participate may result in disciplinary action. Keys/Fobs Personnel are often assigned keys allowing them access to County schools, warehouses, offices, and files. The possession of these keys carries with it a serious responsibility because the security of the school system would be compromised by the loss or negligent use of a key. When an employee is issued a key, the following guidelines are in effect immediately: 1. Keys should never be left lying around, in or on top of desks, or similar locations. 2. Keys should never be passed to a student or a non-school employee. 3. Loss of keys must be reported to the employee's immediate supervisor immediately. Failure to do so will justify disciplinary action. 4. Employees, who through their negligence lose keys, will be held responsible for the rekeying cost of all locks responding to keys which are lost. 5. Broken or damaged keys are to be turned in to the immediate supervisor or the Foreman of Maintenance.
