Patterned Absenteeism. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the City from taking appropriate action for patterned absenteeism. Patterned absenteeism, by way of illustration and not to limit examples, is considered to be: (1) Repetitive occurrences of absenteeism occurring in a given pattern such as days before/days after scheduled days off; (2) Friday/Monday occurrences; (3) Cyclical absences identified as weekly, monthly, semiannual, or annual occurrences (i.e. lengthy absences in winter months or summer which suggest lengthening of preferable absence periods/months); or (4) Repetitive same day of the week absences.
