Part A – Standards & Procedures
Attendance policy Regular attendance contributes to the success of Company X. Absenteeism reduces the quality and efficiency of operations and production of products and services. Absenteeism also places a hardship on co-workers and team members who report to work regularly. Regular attendance is an important responsibility of every employee, and employees are expected to be at work, on time, every working day. Extreme tardiness or leaving early can be as detrimental to the company as an absence. Multiple tardies or leaving early will be considered a “pattern” or “attendance problem.” Other factors, such as degree of lateness or leaving early, may be considered. When a pattern arises, disciplinary action will be taken. If a verifiable condition exists, such as a traffic accident forcing a road closure, an ice storm (or other act of God, which results in an employee being late to work,), such lateness will not be counted against the employee. There may be occasions it may be necessary for you to be absent or take time off from work. Company X is understands and is aware that emergencies, pressing personal business, or illness that cannot be scheduled outside of your working hours may need to be addressed. Personal days have been provided for this purpose. Company X understands there are times when you are still contagious with an illness, but feel well enough to work. Please do not come to work and share your illness with your co-workers. Should your position allow, you will have a set number or work-from-home days. When using a work-from-home day, you will be required to answer e-mail, attend meetings via phone, and meet all work deadlines as if you were in the office.
Work Schedule A normal week would consist of five (5) business days, 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday. Anything over 40 hours a week
