Short Term Absence. In all departments where crews exist the senior qualified employee on the shift, and within the classification where the vacancy occurs, shall be used to fill temporary vacancies of less than seven (7) days duration. This will be accomplished by moving up on the crew within the classification concerned. If the short-term temporary vacancy extends beyond seven (7) days, the senior qualified employee in the classification will fill the extension of the temporary vacancy except in the case of vacancies due to vacation. The transfer of the senior qualified employee in the classification will be made concurrently at the beginning of the next workweek. If the above paragraph is not applicable for whatever reason, the Company may move employees to a higher classification on a short-term basis (not to exceed two (2) consecutive days per week) in order to decrease the hardship caused by last minute approvals for time off and late notification of absenteeism.

The School defines ‘short’ term absence as follows: Suggestions to consider (see also Appendix 1): absences known in advance, e.g. professional development/ medical appointment (if this cannot be arranged outside of the working day) 1 or 2 days’ unplanned absence e.g. staff sickness. Depending upon the timetable of the absent teacher, it is likely that cover supervision will become ‘specified work’ within 5 days and active teaching would be required. In such circumstances the Headteacher will ensure teaching and learning take place by one or more of the following means: Possible suggestions (not shown in order of preference): employing a supply teacher using a floating teacher using a shared teacher (based on clusters of schools) directing the Higher Level Teaching Assistant to take the class using a suitably trained cover supervisor using a learning centre under the overall supervision of a qualified teacher reorganising the year group so that each class is ‘supervised’ for part of the day and taught for the majority.
Short Term Absence. Frequent short term absences can in some cases be a sign of an underlying health condition or wellbeing concern, therefore it is important that supportive steps are taken to discuss a pattern of absence in order to explore the cause, the impact and how an improvement may be achieved (with support if required). While the council wishes to be supportive in addressing frequent short-term absences, absences of this nature can have an impact on the operation of services. This Supporting Attendance Procedure outlines the typical approach to the management of short term absence. Specific guidance is also available where a disability impacts on short term attendance at work.

The Company may move employees to a higher classification on a short term basis (not to exceed two (2) consecutive days per week) in order to decrease the hardship caused by last minute approvals for time off and late notification of absenteeism. Professional Development The Professional Development (Training) Program is provided as an instrument to increase and enhance the level of training for all employees in various positions throughout the plant. It ultimately will provide each person with the opportunity to become familiar with different jobs and to assess whether or not that individual might wish to apply for other positions in the future. By the very nature of the Program, job appreciation is enhanced through the workforce. The method of implementation is as follows: A “training position” is posted, similar to a job posting. The selection is made using the same criteria as is used for job The “trainee” is paid at present rate of pay. The “trainee” is placed with the employee who holds the job and who will provide the training. The “trainee” is an additional person and is not responsible for doing the job on own. However, should this occur, the “trainee” would then receive the base rate for that position, provided there is no qualified person to step in. This period of training does not replace the probationary period of any position, however, it is agreed that the time spent by the employee will be credited to should that employee successfully post for the position at such time as it might become available. During the life of this Agreement, any agreement reached by the Management and the Union on a matter which may arise and is not already covered by this Agreement, will be put in writing and approved by both parties.
Short Term Absence. When supervisors are absent for short periods, such as vacation, illness, training, etc. the department director or elected official should try to first assess whether or not replacement supervision is necessary, considering safety, training, workflow and other relevant issues. If replacement supervision is deemed necessary by the Department Director or Elected Official, the DD/EO, at his/her discretion, may assign a subordinate staff member to temporarily act in place of the absent supervisor. Working out of the job class on a short-term basis shall not result in additional compensation unless the assignment is greater than 30 days, in which case compensation shall follow policy under Temporary Assignment Pay Adjustments.
