Common use of Employee Absences Clause in Contracts

Employee Absences. It is understood that when an employee is absent from work it is the employee's obligation to notify the Company of such absence in advance of the start of the scheduled shift where possible. Notification of an absence shall be given to the employee's xxxxxxx and in the event that the xxxxxxx is not readily available, notification shall be made to another designated person in the division. Such notification shall specify the nature, reasons, and expected duration for such absence. It is an employee's obligation to justify such absence which, at the request of the Company, (where sickness is claimed) will require the employee to produce a doctor's certificate. When an employee is required to produce a doctor’s certificate, the note must be evidence of the employee’s need to be absent in order to be considered as justification for the absence. The Company will not request a note where it could have no probative value such as after an absence where the employee has not seen a doctor; where an employee has maintained that he saw a doctor during his absence where sickness is claimed, the Company may properly request a doctor’s note. Failure to notify or justify any absence shall constitute an unjustifiable absence.
