    Excessive absenteeism and tardiness interrupt workflow and customer service and will
    not be tolerated.

    Definitions
    1. Excused Absence: Time-off requested and approved by the supervisor in

    absent from scheduled work without prior supervisor approval.
    3. Late: Failure to be at assigned work area, in uniform and ready for work at the
    beginning of the shift.
    4. Leaving early: Clocking out five or more minutes before the end of shift without

    within one hour of scheduled start time.
    6. Occurrence: An incident of a single day or any number of consecutive
    unscheduled days.
    7. Tardy: Failure to punch in or call in for employees assigned shift before the start
    of their shift.
    8. Excessive absenteeism:
     More then five unexcused absences in a rolling 12 month calendar is
    considered excessive and is subject to disciplinary action.
    9. Excessive tardiness:
     Two or more instances of lateness in a 30 day period are subject to
    disciplinary action.
    Family and Medical Leave Act
    Absences due to illnesses or injuries which qualify under the Family and Medical Leave
    Act (FMLA) will not be counted against an employee’s attendance record.
    Procedure:
    Employee tardiness:
    If an employee can’t report to work as scheduled, the supervisor should be notified no
    later than 15 minutes after the start of the shift.
    Employee tardiness will be addressed with the following progressive discipline:
     Two days tardy within a thirty (30) day period
    Oral Warning

     A total of three days tardy within the last four consecutive months
    Written Warning

    Five (5) day suspension without pay

     A total of eight days tardy within the last eight consecutive months
    Termination

    Employee Attendance:
    Attendance is measured by the number of hours or days absent over a designated time
    period. An attendance review will be initiated by the employee’s Supervisor when
    improper or excessive absences occur, or when a pattern of absence appears to be
    present.
    Unexcused Absence
     Six occurrences of an unexcused absence within a rolling 12 month period
    Verbal Warning

     Seven occurrences of an unexcused absence within a rolling 12 month period


    Written Warning

    Grounds for Dismissal
    No Call/No Show
    The first instance of a no call/no show will result in a final written warning. The second
    separate offense may result in termination of employment with no additional
    disciplinary steps. Any no call/no show lasting three days is considered job
    abandonment and will result in immediate termination of employment.

    Note: If the employee has already begun the progressive discipline


    process for attendance/punctuality when a no call/no show occurs, the
    disciplinary process may be accelerated to the final step of termination.
