Punctuality and Attendance

You are important to the effective operation of this business. When you are not here at expected times or on expected days, someone else must do your job or delay doing his or her own job while waiting for you to arrive. If you work with customers or vendors, they may grow frustrated if they can’t reach you during your scheduled work times.

As a result, we expect you to keep regular attendance and to be on time and ready to work at the beginning of each scheduled workday.

Of course, things will sometimes happen that will prevent you from showing up to work on time. If you are going to be more than 5 minutes late, please contact your supervisor. If you cannot reach this person, contact 1-800-516-0577. Give this notice as far in advance as possible.

If you must miss a full day of work for reasons other than approved leave (such as leave to serve on a jury or for a death in a family), you must notify your supervisor as far in advance as possible. If you cannot reach this person, contact Human Resources.

If you are late for work or fail to appear without calling in as required by this policy or by other policies in this handbook, you will face disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
