Common use of Attendance performance Clause in Contracts

Attendance performance. All matters relating to opportunities with an associate’s punctuality, consistency in attendance, and performance will be categorized as such. This category will also include excessive, early departures before the completion of the days responsibilities and failure to accurately report times worked or missed on the weekly, payroll time sheets. Regular attendance is an essential function of all positions. The existence of unused sick time does not necessarily preclude an associate from being written up with formal documentation, if such absences are out of the norm, clustered around a short period of time, or an abuse of sick leave, such as, calling out sick after a request for time off is denied. Extenuating circumstances may be taken into account. . An associate who calls out sick from work and has no accrued sick time or personal time is subject to discipline, except that the associate may call out up to three (3) times in a year (August 1 through July 31 consistent with sick leave accrual) after exhausting sick and personal time and not be subject to discipline, provided the associate presents on return to work proper documentation from Emergency Room or Urgent Care only stating that the associate was there the date of the call out. A doctor’s note or other medical documentation (from emergency room or urgent care) does not excuse the discipline except as described above. Any disciplinary documentation related to both the timely and acceptable completion of an associate’s responsibilities will be classified in this category of discipline. The job descriptions provided to each associate will serve as the basis for these contentions for improvement. Failure to work mandatory overtime, when required, may result in disciplinary action.
