Attendance Policy
Punctual and regular attendance is an essential responsibility of each employee at Mr. MTEL. Employees are expected to report to work as scheduled, on time and prepared to start working. Employees also are expected to remain at work for their entire work schedule. Late arrival, early departure or other absences from scheduled hours are disruptive and must be avoided.
Absence
"Absence" is defined as the failure of an employee to report for work when he or she is scheduled to work. The two types of absences are defined below:
Employees with three or more consecutive days of excused absences because of illness or injury must give a supervisor of Mr. MTEL documentation from a healthcare provider with proof of care & an approved return date prior to returning to work.
Time-off requests that have not accrued enough days will be taken from employees' Vacation days.
Tardiness and Early Departures
Employees are expected to report to work and return from scheduled breaks on time. If employees cannot report to work as scheduled, they must notify their supervisor no later than 2 hours before their regular starting time. This notification does not excuse the tardiness but simply notifies the supervisor that a schedule change may be necessary.
Employees who must leave work before the end of their scheduled shift must notify a supervisor immediately.
Under no circumstances are you to leave any location or shift without the request being approved &/or having a replacement for said shift.
Leaving any shift early or arriving late beyond 30 minutes counts as an unexcused absence.
Excessive Absenteeism
Excessive absenteeism is defined as:
Job Abandonment / No Call No Show
Any employee who fails to report to work for a period of 1 day or more without notifying his or her supervisor will be considered to have abandoned the job and voluntarily terminated the employment relationship.
Failure to follow these rules & procedures is considered negligence & will result in points based on our Point System.
We hold the right and responsibility to take disciplinary action against behavior/actions considered negligent.
