WORK ORDERS
Physical Plant receives work requests from a wide variety of sources within the University. Work requests that have been approved for action are written as work orders. Pertinent data on the scope of the job is listed on the work order. Work requests should be submitted by your administrataive assistant via SchoolDude. Work orders are assigned to Supervisors for accomplishment. Supervisors determine the appropriate individuals to perform the work, and then schedule the timing of the work. The work team is expected to complete their assigned work orders in the most efficient and effective manner possible.
Physical Plant employees accurately record the time spent completing a work order due to the possibility of charging the work requestor for time and/or materials. Physical Plant records time in fifteen-minute (15-minute) increments per individual involved in the performance of the requested work. This time includes gathering any tools, materials, and transportation to and from the job site.
When Physical Plant must complete a work order in a specific time frame, a date and/or time must be given when calling in the work request. Arrival of the work request into the Physical Plant office in a timely manner is essential in getting the work completed on time. If it is not possible to meet the specified time frame, you will be contacted.
