Common use of Tardies Clause in Contracts

Tardies. Employees must be dressed properly in uniform and ready to assume work duties at their work location at their call time. Employees who fail to report to their work station at their exact call time will be considered tardy, even if they’ve clocked in at the appropriate Timekeeper clock before their call time. Employees who know they will be tardy must make reasonable efforts to notify their department prior to their call time. Advance notice does not excuse the tardy and failure to make such reasonable efforts may result in progressive discipline, depending on an employee’s circumstances.
