Employees working in an outdoor environment are allowed and encouraged to take cool-down periods in the shade, located as near to the worksite as practicable, for not less than five minutes at a time whenever employees feel the need to do so to protect themselves from overheating and heat illness (generally when the temperature exceeds 85 degrees although when the temperature is below 85 degrees, access to shade will be provided promptly, when requested by an employee). These cool-down periods are duty-free. Employees are to inform their supervisors of the need for such a recovery period(s). Please review the University’s Illness & Injury Prevention Program (CF.60.B.001) or contact Human Resources with any questions. If for any reason you do not take the applicable rest breaks and/or meal periods, you must notify your supervisor immediately. No supervisor is authorized to tell you to forgo or shorten a meal or rest period. Should such occur, if at all, please immediately notify Human Resources.

ATTENDANCE Your punctuality and regular attendance are essential for good business operation and are a condition of employment. An unacceptable attendance or punctuality record may result in counseling, probation, suspension without pay, or termination. If you are unable to report to work, or will be late more than thirty (30) minutes, you must notify your Supervisor no later than thirty (30) minutes after your scheduled reporting time. In the absence of you Supervisor, notification is to be made to someone else in the department. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. If you are absent for three (3) consecutive business days without notification to your immediate Supervisor, or designee, your absence will be considered voluntarily terminated. To ensure the effective operation of our business, you must obtain the approval of your Manager before your departure if leaving early or needing to leave the campus for other than lunch. For business appointments, please let both your Manager and someone else he/she designates know that you will be off campus for an extended period of time, as it is important to know the whereabouts of staff members to ensure adequate customer service and in case of an emergency. In order to permit needed transitional planning, the supervisor must be kept informed of developments involving an absence. Unreported and/or unexcused absences could subject you to loss of pay and possible disciplinary action.
