Attendance

grading parameters. These are outlined in the Common Expectations document. These teaching responsibilities will be in addition to the part-time teacher’s designated office hours. Part-time staff are not required to participate in field trips or committees. Part-time staff are required to attend virtual professional development sessions, but will not be required to attend in-person all staff meetings.

ATTENDANCE

Each staff member has a primary work location and work schedule for the purposes of this policy. Staff members are responsible for being on time as defined by their manager and the needs of the school. Staff members are responsible for completing a leave request for any absence as required by Human Resources. All leave requests must be a minimum of two (2) hours. Hourly staff who report their hours on a time card may request leave in one (1) hour increments.

Staff members are required to notify their manager each day they will be absent or late and must gain manager approval to leave work early. Notifying fellow staff is not sufficient. If you are unable to make the contact yourself because of illness, emergency, or for some other reason, you must have someone notify on your behalf. This is only appropriate if you are completely unable to notify yourself. All absences should also be recorded in WorkForceNow.

ABSENCE

If you are absent because of illness for three (3) or more successive days, you must submit written documentation from your doctor or you may be required to convert the days absent to other forms of paid leave, if available, or to unpaid leave. If you are absent five (5) or more consecutive days because of illness, you will be required to provide written documentation from a doctor that you are able to resume normal work duties before you will be allowed to return to work. These absences may be designated as family/medical leave depending on the circumstances. Short Term Disability may be available for absences longer than 5 days. Contact Human Resources for additional information.

Absence from work for three (3) consecutive days without notifying your manager or Human Resources will be considered a voluntary resignation. In general, five (5) unexcused absences in a ninety (90) day period, or a recurring pattern of absence, will be considered excessive, and the reasons for the absences may come under question.
