Absences

If an employee is unable to report for duty, that employee must notify the immediate supervisor at least one hour prior to the beginning of work. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action.

Absence Without Leave/Lateness

An employee shall be deemed “absent without leave” when absent from work during scheduled duty time without prior notification to the School. This shall include absence due to lateness or due to leaving early or any other absence that is not specifically excused. Absence will not be excused unless the reason for absence conforms to policy on sick or vacation leave, or other specific policy on excused absences as adopted by the Board.

Employees are expected to be on premises during scheduled duty time unless off premises on school business.

Employees shall not be compensated for time missed due to being absent without leave. A subsequent paycheck of the employee will be docked for minutes/hours missed.

All unauthorized and/or unreported absences will be considered Absence Without Leave (AWOL), and a deduction of pay will be made. Such absences will be grounds for disciplinary action. Absence Without Leave for three days within a calendar month will be deemed a resignation from employment.
