Common use of Absent from Work Clause in Contracts

Absent from Work. An employee is expected not to be absent from work for any reason other than personal illness without making prior arrangements with the employee’s Supervisor. Unless such prior arrangements are made, an employee who, for any reason, fails to report for work must make a sincere effort to immediately notify the Supervisor of the reason for being absent. If the absence is to continue beyond the first day, the employee must notify the Supervisor on a daily basis unless otherwise arranged with the Supervisor. In proper cases, exceptions will be made. An employee shall lose status as an employee and seniority if absent from work, including the failure to return to work at the expiration of a leave of absence, vacation or disciplinary layoff, for two (2) consecutive working days without notifying the Employer, except when the failure to notify and work is due to circumstances beyond the control of the employee.
