-
Each manager or supervisor is responsible for communicating work schedules, attendance expectations, and absence reporting or requesting requirements to his/her subordinates.
-
Each employee must inform his/her supervisor that he/she will not be at work as scheduled as soon as the employee learns of his/her inability to work.
-
If the employee is not physically able to contact his/her supervisor, he/she should ensure that someone notifies the supervisor as soon as practicable.
-
Notification should be made in accordance with applicable Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) as soon as reasonably possible, before the start of the employee’s shift to enable the supervisor to plan for staff coverage.
-
Following the initial notification, the employee must inform his/her supervisor of the expected date of return to work. If this is unknown, the employee is required to call in every day unless the supervisor and the employee otherwise agree about when and how often the employee should subsequently report to the supervisor during the employee’s absence.
-
Supervisors and managers are expected to monitor, track, and analyze the occurrence of unscheduled absences, and document failures to meet the standards in performance evaluations. The standards must be applied consistently and uniformly.
-
If an employee fails to appear for work and fails to provide required notification for three (3) consecutive regular working days or two (2) consecutive regularly scheduled on-duty shifts, the supervisor or manager must immediately contact the Human Resources Bureau. | |
