POLICY NUMBER: HR501 ISSUE DATE:
SECTION: HUMAN RESOURCES REVIEW DATE:
POLICY:
The following policy will govern non-exempt hourly employee attendance for regular
employees. Unscheduled absences, tardiness, and excessive clock-in/out violations will
result in progressive corrective action, up to and including discharge. Absences or
tardiness due to approved Family Medical Leave, Short-Term Disability, Workers'
Compensation, bereavement, jury duty, military leave and any other approved absences
are not subject to the requirements of this policy.
Note: Any unscheduled paid time off (if not otherwise excused under applicable legal
requirements) is a pay policy, and therefore is NOT exempt from occurrence accrual
under this policy. Examples include, but are not limited to unscheduled sick days,
personal holidays, and vacation.
For those employees whose positions are covered by a collective bargaining agreement
("CBA"), please refer to the applicable language in the respective CBA. If there are any
inconsistencies between the applicable CBA and this policy, the CBA language is
controlling.
