Attendance & Punctuality
Punctuality and regular attendance are important to the smooth operation of (Your Company). If you are consistently late or excessively absent, (Your Company)’s ability to perform work is affected and an unfair burden is placed on your co-workers. Therefore, unless your absence is permitted or excused under (Your Company)’s holiday, vacation, sick or other policies, you are responsible for being at work and arriving on time. If you are going to be absent or late, it is your responsibility to call your supervisor as soon as possible, preferably in advance of lateness. If you are absent for several days, you must notify your supervisor each day.
An employee who is absent for reasons other than those permitted or excused by (Your Company)’s holiday, vacation, or leave policies, or who repeatedly fails to provide notice as required, will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.
Sick Day Procedures & Personal time
You will be eligible for three (3) days per year but will not be eligible to exercise this benefit until you have been employed for one year or until the day or days have been earned.
Should employee choose to use the accrued time as a “personal day”, you must submit your request for approval at least 14 days in advance. Management reserves the right to deny such request if they feel we cannot provide proper service to customers and you would have to reschedule for another day. The accrued time cannot be used the day before or the day after a vacation holiday.
In the event you are off for sick time, you must still call your manager by 7:00am to advise you will not be in. You must also your manager by 4:00pm that same day to advise if you will/will not be to work the following day.
Should the accrued time not be taken in the calendar year, the unused time will not be carried over to the next calendar year nor would compensation be given for any unused time.
Any time taken in excess of time accrued (the max is 3 days) and any violation of the above stated, will be considered an unexcused absence and grounds for disciplinary measures up to termination.
Management reserves the right to revoke or change this policy with notification.
Availability for Work
Employees must be available for work during normal business hours. Business hours (ESTABLISH BUSINESS HOURS) unless otherwise approve in writing by manager. You must be ready to take care of business at (OPENING HOUR) sharp therefore you need to be in the office, computer on and powered up and ready to take calls or service customers. Computers should not be turned off until after (CLOSING TIME) when the office closes. Even though the phones do not go on till (?) am and off at (?) PM this policy is still required if, for any reason, there is a change in your work availability status; you must notify your supervisor at least one week prior to the change. This can be changed by management at any given time.
Mandatory Meetings
