It is the responsibility of all ASUCLA employees to protect Association assets, and to prevent losses due to customer and/or internal theft. This is accomplished in the following ways:
- By creating a safe work environment.
- By providing our customers a safe and pleasant environment in which to shop, dine, study — or seek any of our services.
- By reducing and eliminating the internal and external theft of ASUCLA merchandise and property.
- By preserving our reputation of being an honest, reputable organization with which to conduct business.
Awareness is our first line of defense against loss …. following and enforcing policies/procedures eliminates opportunities for dishonesty.
As in most large organizations, ASUCLA has a Security and Loss Prevention Department. This department is staffed by both professional and student employees. It is their responsibility to guide and assist ASUCLA employees and departments in the above activities.
Shrinkage
Shrinkage is a word that is familiar to most retail and food service settings. It simply means “loss”. In an atmosphere such as ours, it is often divided into 2 categories: “internal” and “external”.
Facts About Shrinkage
Internal shrinkage results from such things as pricing errors, inventory/receiving errors, and employee theft.
- Internal shrinkage is responsible for a phenomenal 60% – 70% of all losses!
- 1/2 of all internal shrinkage is due to employee theft!
Employee theft includes:
- Taking money from cash registers for personal use.
- Using ASUCLA equipment and/or supplies for personal use.
- Taking or using merchandise without permission or proper payment.
- Letting friends have merchandise or food without charging them, or at other than the posted or ticketed price.
- Violating the Employee Discount Policy and the Employee Meal Program policy.
- Timecard violations.
External shrinkage is responsible for the remaining 30% – 40% of losses and results from such things as credit card fraud, check fraud, and shoplifting.
The Real Cost of Theft
The following information points out the dollar value amount of loss ASUCLA experiences when merchandise and resources are stolen or misappropriated:
Shrinkage at ASUCLA:
ASUCLA loses $1,528 every day we are open, or $127 each hour we are open! |
The true cost of theft includes also the amount of additional sales needed to offset these losses.
Most of us don’t stop to consider the full effect that losses have on our ability to provide goods and services to UCLA students and our other customers on a competitive basis.
Discouraging Theft
The most effective way of discouraging theft is by providing good customer service.
Most people who intend to commit theft are unwilling to do so if they know they have been noticed. Therefore, it is important to greet customers with:
- “Hi, how are you today?”
- “What can I show you today?”
- “Is there something I can help you find?”.
Good customer service eliminates the opportunity for theft, because we are establishing our presence.
As our last line of defense against theft – particularly shoplifters — most organizations (including ASUCLA) employ the use of plainclothes agents.
Our plainclothes agents observe and apprehend persons for taking merchandise from our premises without making payment, and they report other observed loss/theft to management.
But Security and Loss Prevention can’t be everywhere! They need your help in alerting them to persons who are acting suspiciously in our stores, restaurants and departments.
Recognizing Potential Shoplifters
Shoplifting is a common form of theft in most retail and food settings, including at ASUCLA.
Look for these signs:
- Persons who avoid store employees.
- Persons who constantly watch store employees instead of the merchandise.
- Persons who spend an unusually long time in the same area, or who keep returning to the same area.
- Persons who enter with empty store, shopping or school bags.
- Persons who wear/carry unseasonable clothing, anytime of the year.
Responding to a Potential Shoplifter
For your safety, and the safety of others, do not attempt to stop or question a potential shoplifter.
Instead, follow these steps:
| 1. Call the Loss Prevention Office.
(The telephone number is posted at each register.) |
| 2. When the Loss Prevention agents arrive, do not call out / gesture to / approach them. Avoid obvious contact with them.
(So as not to expose the agents to the potential shoplifter.) |
If you cannot reach a Loss Prevention Agent:
- Call the Store Managers Office and have Loss Prevention paged.
- Alert your supervisor or manager.
- Use customer service techniques to discourage the theft.
Food Service
Internal and external theft are not confined to our UCLA Stores.
The loss of prepared foods as well as food supplies adds significantly to ASUCLA’s total losses.
Many of the guidelines above apply to situations you may encounter if you work for Food Service.
The following are some frequently asked questions, and answers, relating to our Food Service areas:
Q: What should I do when I see a person leaving the restaurant with food they did not pay for?
A: Ask the person to pay; notify your supervisor/manager.
Q: Should I follow or physically detain the individual?
A: NO! Your safety is more important! Get a description, if possible.
Q: What should I do if I see an employee take or give away food, or violate the Meal Program?
A: Notify your supervisor/manager.
Q: What should we do about vagrants panhandling and interfering with our customers?
A: Call Security/Loss Prevention and UCPD.

ASUCLA may inspect, monitor or disclose electronic mail without the consent of the email user when required by and consistent with law when there is substantiated reason to believe that violations of law or of ASUCLA policies have taken place or in exceptional cases, when required to meet time-dependent, critical operational needs. In either case, the responsible authority or designee shall, at the earliest possible opportunity that is lawful and consistent with other ASUCLA policy, notify the affected individual of the action(s) taken and the reasons for the action(s) taken.
ASUCLA will publish, where consistent with law, an annual report summarizing instances of authorized or emergency nonconsensual access to electronic mail.

ASUCLA makes every effort to provide safe working conditions free from hazards which could lead to injury to our employees and customers, or to property damage. Every ASUCLA employee has an important place in safety and accident prevention, and is expected to cooperate fully with established safety measures. Failure to do so may result in corrective action, up to and including dismissal. This includes:
- Complying with safety guidelines, regulations and procedures.
- Reporting unsafe conditions or procedures to your supervisor.
- Reporting safety/accident incidents to your supervisor.
- Accepting responsibility for safe work performance.
Only through the joint efforts of all employees and supervisors can safety and accident prevention be attained.
General Safety Guidelines
Employees are expected to follow these guidelines and to report observed violations to their supervisor or manager. This list is not intended to be all inclusive. Employees are expected to apply the highest levels of judgment to ensure safety and accident prevention. In addition, other safety guidelines may apply to your job and daily activities which your supervisor will review with you.
- Report any incident or accident to your supervisor or manager at once, no matter how minor.
- If you become ill or are injured on the job, immediately notify your supervisor or manager.
- Walk — do not run — on work premises.
- Only operate equipment on which you have been properly trained.
- Keep stairs, aisles, floors and walkways dry and clear of materials.
- Be on the alert for fire hazards, and report or correct them.
- Know the location of the nearest fire exit, as well as the location and use of the fire fighting equipment in your area.
- No smoking: all Campus & ASUCLA facilities are smoke-free
- Dispose of waste and trash immediately.
- Report all unsafe conditions and equipment to your supervisor or manager.
- Appliances such as fans, lamps and radios are only permitted if they are UL approved and so marked, and if you have your supervisor’s or manager’s approval to use them.
- Close cabinets, files and desk drawers at all times when not in use.
- Stack materials on desks, cabinets and storage areas neatly and in a secure manner.
- Keep exits free from obstructions.
- Use proper lifting techniques when lifting materials. Keep your back straight, bend at your knees, and lift with your legs. Only lift materials you can comfortably manage. Request assistance from co- workers for heavy objects.
- Be careful not to overload electrical outlets or allow electrical cords to tangle.
- Approach any solid door with caution to avoid being hit if someone opens it from the other side.
- Be alert to dangerous weather conditions and any potential impact on safety and accident prevention.
Office and Computer Safety
If you work at a computer or desk for a significant portion of the day, remember to periodically shift positions and stretch to relieve muscle tension. Computer screens should be adjusted slightly below eye level and have good contrast. Relax your eyes occasionally to prevent eye strain. Adjust your chair and keyboard height so forearms are level and wrists are straight when your hands rest on the keys. Your feet should rest comfortably on the floor.
Housekeeping
In addition to being responsible for accident prevention in performing work and in their own work surroundings, employees are accountable for the general cleanliness of their work space.
Safe Fire Response
Immediately report any fire to your supervisor or manager and call “911”.
In its beginning stage, a fire can often be extinguished or controlled using mounted or portable fire extinguishers. However, if you are not familiar with how to use this equipment, or if the fire appears to be growing out of control, evacuate the facility.
Safe Evacuation
When evacuation is required in response to a fire, explosion or natural disaster, an alarm system will be your cue to evacuate. To ensure safe evacuation, it is essential not to panic. Evacuate quietly and in an orderly manner through the nearest exit. Elevators should never be used when evacuating. Remember to close your office door prior to leaving, but not if that would endanger you or others.
Seat Belts
It is a well proven fact that the use of seat belts reduces the risk of injury or death in the event of an accident. When on company business, whether using a personal or company vehicle, employees are required to use a seat belt.
Hands Free Cell Devices
No employee shall operate a company motor vehicle while using a mobile telephone to engage in a call while the vehicle is in motion unless the employee uses a hands-free mobile telephone which allows the user to communicate without the use of either hand or when the sole purpose of the phone call is to communicate an emergency to a police or fire department, a hospital or physician’s office or an ambulance corps.
Using electronic wireless communications devices including BlackBerries, IPhones, Ipod Touch devices, pagers, cell phones, laptop computers, etc. to manually communicate with any person by writing, sending or reading a text message using a text-based communication, such as text messages, instant messages or e-mail while driving a motor vehicle is also prohibited.
Injury or Illness On The Job
ASUCLA employees are covered by Workers Compensation Insurance. This insurance provides:
- Payment of approved medical expenses that result from work-incurred injury or illness.
- Payment of an allotted percentage for time off work due to the injury or illness.
- In some cases, employees are also eligible for a Work-Incurred Leave of Absence.
Employees who are injured while at work should notify their supervisor immediately, no matter how minor the injury may seem to be at the time.
Employees should contact ASUCLA’s HR Division Area Manager with questions about Workers Compensation Insurance benefits.
Treating Physician/Professional
Employees who file a report of work-incurred injury or illness will be referred by ASUCLA to an appropriate physician/professional for assessment and/or treatment. 30 days after filing the report, employees may designate their own treating physician/professional.
Employees may be immediately referred to a physician/professional of their choosing if they have previously submitted a request to do so in the event of work-incurred injury or illness. The request must be submitted in writing prior to the report of work-incurred injury or illness. It is recommended that the written request be submitted at the time of hire for inclusion in the Employment File.
