B. Attendance and Punctuality
Attendance is a key factor in your job performance. Punctuality and regular attendance are expected of all employees. Excessive absences (whether excused or unexcused), tardiness or leaving early is unacceptable. If you are absent for any reason or plan to arrive late or leave early, you must notify your supervisor and the office manager as far in advance as possible and no later than one hour before the start of your scheduled work day. In the event of an emergency, you must notify your supervisor as soon as possible.
For all absences extending longer than one day, you must telephone your immediate supervisor prior to the start of each scheduled workday. When reporting an absence, you should indicate the nature of the problem causing your absence and your expected return‐to‐ work date. A physician’s statement may be required as proof of the need for any illness‐related absence regardless of the length of the absence.
Except as provided in other policies, an employee who is absent from work for three consecutive days without notification to his or her supervisor or the Executive Director will be considered to have voluntarily terminated his or her employment. The employee’s final paycheck will be mailed to the last mailing address on file with {ORGANIZATION NAME}.
Excessive absences, tardiness or leaving early will be grounds for discipline up to and including termination. Depending on the circumstances, including the employee’s length of employment, {ORGANIZATION NAME} may counsel employees prior to termination for excessive absences, tardiness or leaving early.
