<br />IV. LEAVES AND ABSENCE <br /> <br />1. Hours of Work <br /> <br />Regular business hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. <br />Supervisors shall implement work schedules, breaks, and lunch schedules to <br />accomplish the requirements of their departments and divisions. Individual <br />employees may be scheduled to work special hours or shifts. <br /> <br />2. Attendance <br /> <br />Employees shall be required to be at their places of work in accordance with this <br />policy and their departmental regulations. An employee who fails to report for <br />duty, is habitually tardy, leaves the workplace without proper authorization, or <br />misuses leave is subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. <br /> <br />All departments shall maintain daily attendance records. <br /> <br />3. Excused Absence <br /> <br />Examples of excused absences include: paid sick leave, vacation, holidays, jury <br />duty, bereavement leave, and injury leave. <br /> <br />To be eligible for an excused absence of sick leave, employees must contact <br />their supervisor no later than 15 minutes after the start of their regularly <br />scheduled starting time, unless superseded by departmental rules. Other <br />excusable leaves of absence shall be pre-approved by the Department Director <br />according to department regulations. <br /> <br />Employees must provide their supervisor with the reason for the absence and the <br />date and time the employee expects to return to work. The supervisor may <br />waive the 15-minute provision due to extenuating circumstances. <br /> <br />In order for the absence to be considered excused, an employee may be <br />required to furnish a doctor or hospital statement to the supervisor verifying an <br />illness or accident and medically releasing the employee from any of the <br />following circumstances: <br /> <br />1. When an illness or accident caused the employee to be hospitalized. <br /> <br />2. When the absence was for more than 3 consecutive workdays. Twenty- <br />four hour shift personnel may be required to submit said medical <br />statement if absence exceeded 2 consecutive workdays. <br /> <br />3. When the absence occurred on a regularly scheduled workday preceding <br />or following a holiday or regularly scheduled vacation day. <br /> <br />Employee Policies Handbook/Page 22 <br />
