ATTENDANCE MANAGEMENT<br />
<strong>AMGH</strong> is committed to the care and well-being of our patients, continuous quality improvement<br />
and the professionalism of our staff. In keeping with this commitment, it is recognized that regular<br />
attendance by all employees is an expectation at <strong>AMGH</strong> and is essential to our patients and the<br />
hospital. Regular attendance is a fundamental obligation of employment.<br />
The <strong>AMGH</strong> Attendance Management policy applies to all full-time and part-time employees. This<br />
policy is based on increased staff awareness regarding the need to be at work on a regular basis;<br />
providing feedback to employees regarding attendance, and offering assistance to those<br />
employees who are having difficulty maintaining regular attendance. The policy provides a fair<br />
and consistent approach with respect to frequent and excessive absenteeism as well as<br />
recognition for excellent attendance.<br />
The organization’s threshold for sick time is 52.5 hours in a rolling 12 month period. If a staff<br />
member reaches or exceeds this threshold, the member will enter the attendance management<br />
program which begins with a meeting with the staff member’s manager, Occupational Health and<br />
Human Resources.<br />
Sick Time Pay<br />
Part-time employees are paid in lieu of sick time as part of their benefits in lieu. Full-time staff are<br />
covered by the Hospitals of Ontario Disability Income Plan (HOODIP). The first 15 weeks of sick<br />
time is considered Short Term Disability (STD) and is fully funded by the organization.<br />
If a member is sick longer than 15 weeks, he/she would move to long term disability (LTD) which<br />
consists of 15 weeks of Employment Insurance Sick Leave and if progresses then the member<br />
would apply for LTD benefits through the benefits provider. STD is paid at the following levels:<br />
At least 3 months of service – 66.67% of regular earnings<br />
At least 1 year of service – 70% of regular earnings<br />
At least 2 years of service – 80% of regular earnings<br />
At least 3 years of service – 90% of regular earnings<br />
At least 4 years of service – 100% of regular earnings<br />
