Supervisor: Beth Baker-660-785-7464 bbaker@truman.edu

  • Morning: 4 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (Monday-Friday)
  • Evening: 2:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. (Monday-Friday)

Area coverage: 

Each specific area in a building is assigned to one of the shifts, not both. For example, if an area is covered by the morning shift, it won’t normally have anyone cleaning it after 12:30 pm each day. However, both shifts will respond to cleaning emergencies outside their assigned areas.

Cleaning emergencies:

  • After hours: call 660-785-4200 or 660-785-4205 (both ring at Boiler Plant)
  • Normal hours: contact janitor in building, or call 660-785-4200

Cleaning Projects:

To properly plan and do projects such as carpet extraction and tile stripping and waxing, advance notice and adequate access to spaces for cleaning must be allowed. Due to overtime restrictions, access during normal working hours is necessary in most cases.

Personal property:  

To avoid the potential for damage, janitors are expected not to handle the personal property of office occupants. Therefore, office occupants who request dusting must first move their personal property items.
