Employee Handbook (2012 Revised Edition)

KEY POINTS IN THE ATTENDANCE POLICY
The terms “excessive” and “chronic” shall be interpreted to mean the following:
a. Three or more consecutive occurrences in a seven day period; or
b. Six or more non-consecutive occurrences in a calendar month; or
c. Twelve or more non-consecutive occurrences in a six-month period.
An employee reporting late for work is tardy. Tardiness occurs when the employee has not
arrived within five (5) minutes after the scheduled starting time. Pay will start at the next
fifteen (15) minute interval.
An Unexcused absence is the failure of an employee to report to work within thirty (30)
minutes of the starting time of the shift without calling. Any absence categorized as
“excused” will be determined by the Regional Coordinator or General Manager.
If unexcused absences become excessive or chronic, the employee will receive a written
reprimand and the next occurrence of an unexcused absence may result in termination.
Three consecutive days of unexcused absences will be cause for termination. An
employee’s attendance record will be used in consideration of pay increases, promotions,
and other types of advancement.
