Attendance

Employees are expected to be on time, dressed appropriately and ready for work at their work location according to department schedules unless authorized to miss work. Excessive absence or tardiness will subject the relevant employee to corrective action. An employee who is absent without approved leave from work shall, after three (3) consecutive work days of such unauthorized absence, be considered to have abandoned their position and will be deemed to have resigned, unless it can be shown by the employee that special circumstances existed that prevented the employee from reporting to their place of work.
