absences for the purpose of this policy. An absence occurs when a student misses more than one-half of his or her assigned shift for class or clinical assignment or leaves before completing his or her assigned shift without prior approval. A technologist must initial the student’s time card to acknowledge that the student left with approval. A half-day absence will be identified when a student was present for class for at least four hours of the scheduled day. Tardy A student is considered late (tardy) if he or she clocks in more than 5 minutes (8/100) after the time scheduled. Tardiness is also defined as failing to clock in on time card or failing to have the supervising technologist initial Clinical Hours Form. When a student is tardy for more than 1 hour beyond the scheduled time without a justified reason, the student will lose one half a day of vacation time. Unexcused Tardy Documentation of five incidents will result in the loss of one half day of vacation day. Each succeeding three unexcused tardies will result in the loss of an additional half day of a vacation time. The program will intervene using the corrective action policy with the student who has ongoing issues with unexcused tardies regardless of the loss of vacation time. Early Departure An early departure is one in which the student clocks out before the scheduled end of his or her shift (more than 20 minutes) unless instructed to do so by his or her supervisor and that supervisor has initialed the time card. Early departure is also defined as failing to clock out at the end of the assigned day or failing to have the supervising technologist initial time card or Clinical Hours Form. Attendance procedure Students shall clock in for all of the following: clinical experiences, didactic classes, mandatory meetings, or as designated by the Program Director. Arrival and departure times will be determined by the time on the time recording system. Out of department clinical assignments requires the supervising technologist to initial clock in and clock out times on the Clinical Hours Form. Out of department clinical assignment are described as Mammography, Radiation Therapy, RWPC–Orthopaedics, RWPC–Family Practice/Internal Medicine, Box Butte General Hospital, Torrington Community Hospital and Morrill County Community Hospital. All other clinical assignments require students to clock in and out using the time clocks and individual time 38
cards. Students shall not clock in or out for other students or employees. Time cards or the equivalent will be kept as a permanent record of student attendance. All students will take a one-hour lunch break for clinical or didactic assignments. During clinical assignments in town the student is scheduled for a nine-hour day with one hour for lunch. When on clinical assignment in Alliance Torrington or Bridgeport an eight-hour day (to allow for driving time) of clinical contact is required with one hour lunch. Overtime Students shall not be required to be present in the clinical area beyond their scheduled shift. Occasions may arise where the student may voluntarily remain after scheduled hours. For example a student may volunteer to stay late to assist a technologist with a large influx of patients in the department or to observe an interesting case. Any time that is in addition to the student’s regularly scheduled hours, shall only be voluntary on the part of the student. A student who has didactic or clinical education beyond the regularly scheduled hours shall inform the Program Director. The Program Director shall then schedule the student to take time off to assure that the forty-hour week is not exceeded. Students shall not abuse this privilege by remaining unnecessarily after hours. To assure the overtime hours are valid, the supervisory technologist for the shift must initial the overtime hours on the student’s time card. Any overtime above 40 hours as a result of the attendance of meetings shall be compensated as time off during that same week if possible. Overtime may not be accumulated by the student. Students are responsible for communicating with program officials about overtime obtained during any week. Utilization of overtime time by the student for time off must be approved by the Program Director. If overtime hours are found at week’s end because the student failed to report these hours, the hours will be subtracted from the time that the student left early during the week. If overtime still exists, then the student will be scheduled for appropriate amount of time off in the next week for compensation. Review Of Records Attendance, tardies and early releases records will be reviewed periodically by the Program officials and students during the student’s self evaluation. Students may also review their attendance, tardy and early release records on the hospital network and request any correction of errors, if necessary. Illness/Holidays/Vacations Students in the radiographer program are allowed illness, breaks, holidays and vacations. All students must attend all didactic classes and clinical assignments unless previous arrangements have been made with the instructor, clinical instructor, or program director. Failure to arrange for an absence will be declared an unexcused absence possibly resulting in a failing grade, probation, or suspension and/or 39
