Updated!

I also wanted to notate here what exactly "Monthly Check-ins" (previously 90 check-ins) are. It is a way to better keep up activity and hold our Staff to their duties & responsibilities. You may read more about that below within the spoiler. Please also note that we are currently working on these duties, so some of these will change. Those edits will be posted once we are happy with them

Spoiler! :

The Alphas will now be doing Check-Ins once a month to see where you are at within your comfortability in your Rank as well as your Department responsibilities. Your overall performance within one month will be taken into account and based on that performance you will be given feedback. Breaks will not be accounted for, though if we notice you taking an excessive amount, we will take note to talk to you about during your Check-In.




Basic Staff Responsibilities
* These are the base requirements you should be performing as a Staff member aside from Rank & Department responsibilities
➔ Being on duty on Wolfhome for at least 15 hours per month
➔ Logging into the Chat and Forum twice a week and commenting on topics that need opinions
When giving OPS, you should always be looking over that topic in detail as well as giving in-depth feedback. Repeated short responses are not acceptable.
➔ A contribution to each Department you are a part of twice a week
➔ Posting at least one Warnings & Ban per month OR Posting at least five opinions in the Warnings & Bans section and upping at least five bans per month
➔ Checking Discord and the forums periodically & sharing your thoughts
Discord is nice for quick responses but your main priority should be checking the forum for new topics/posts. You should not be relying on Discord notifications in order to check the Forum.
➔ Should be watching the forums and taking part in discussions of guidelines, W&B topics, rule changes, and more

Check-In Guidelines for Alphas
______________________________________________________________________________________________

The Alphas will review performance throughout the one month period and at the end of that month, we will go down the above list(s) that pertain to you. We want everyone to be active and keeping up with their responsibilities. This is a way for us to keep in touch with how you are doing; Are you going above and beyond what is required? Is Burn-out a concern? Are you still learning but comfortable where you are at? Are you having a hard time keeping up with your requirements? We want to know! It is another way for us to see who is pulling their weight & who needs help.

There should be honest conversation taken place with the Alpha and Staff member before reviewing any of the lists mentioned above.

Symbols you will see while going over your Check-In review:
☑ - Performing requirement
☐ - Performing but not meeting requirement
☒ - Not meeting requirement

* Anything not applicable will be crossed out (Ex: Interviewing/Training Apprentices if there are none/ you are not a Mentor)
