  • Career Pathways Toolkit: A Guide for System Development (A Resource of the U.S. Department of Labor) 
  • Staff Hours: This document could serve as a sample hourly staff log.  During this unprecedented time, many staff members are working different hours or in slightly different capacities.  In agreement with the Michigan Department of Education and Michigan Labor and Economic Opportunity, MACAE encourages all programs to pay staff members (salary or hourly) during this time.  Ultimately, it is a local decision, but state and federal funds are allocated. MACAE recommends that programs have staff members document work hours during this time, especially if that staff member is functioning in a different capacity.  This document could serve as a sample hourly staff log.
