Leave Days. It is the expectation that employees will report to work on a regular basis and be on time for scheduled work. Absenteeism places an undue burden on the school district’s ability to manage and direct the programs and activities that affect students, parents, staff and the community. It is recognized that over the course of the year, there may be reasons for employees to be absent from work. However, the frequency and duration of these absences must be monitored by the employer and excessive absenteeism will be addressed. Good attendance will benefit employees in terms of job security, better earnings, protection of sick leave benefits and equitable treatment. All AFSCME personnel, in the event of personal illness, family illness, death in family or other reason, are expected to follow the reporting procedures for absences as provided by the district/supervisor. All employees must request and receive permission from their appropriate administrator/supervisor before leaving their assigned work area and/or building while on duty. Failure to comply with the reporting procedures may result in loss of pay to the employee and/or further disciplinary action. Any absence which is taken for an improper reason or which is used for purposes other than as stated by the employee shall be considered abusive. Any employee abusing the leave policies of the district shall be subjected to appropriate discipline, up to suspension or termination. In addition, it is the expectation that employees will punch themselves in and out of work and not request others to do so. Employees who register time records for other employees (punch in or out of work) or who request such action, will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
