Hr Manager

PURPOSE:

Timely and regular attendance is an expectation of performance for all Sanco Business Solutions employees. To ensure adequate staffing, positive employee morale, and to meet expected productivity standards throughout the organization, employees will be held accountable for adhering to their workplace schedule. In the event an employee is unable to meet this expectation, he/she must obtain approval from their supervisor in advance of any requested schedule changes. This approval includes late arrivals to or early departures from work. Departments have discretion to evaluate extraordinary circumstances of a tardy, absence or failure to clock-in or clock-out and determine whether or not to count the incidents. The HR Department is available to advise supervisors regarding the evaluation of extenuating circumstances.

I. Absent

An employee is deemed absent when he/she is unavailable for work as assigned/scheduled and such time off was not scheduled/approved in advance as required by department notification procedure.

II. Tardy

An employee is deemed to be tardy when he/she:

• Fails to report for work at the assigned/scheduled work time. In these instances, managers may replace the tardy employee for the full shift.

• Leaves work prior to the end of assigned/scheduled work time without prior supervisory approval.

• Takes an extended meal or break period without approval

• Arrives to work past his/her scheduled start time may be replaced for the full shift at the discretion of his/her supervisor.

III. Time Clocks and Failure to Clock in/out

Employees are required to follow established guidelines for recording their actual hours worked. A missed clock in/out is a violation of this policy and includes:

• Failure to clock in/out on their designated time clock at the beginning and/or end of their assigned shift;

• Failure to clock in/out on their designated time clock for the meal break;

• Failure to accurately and timely report time worked.

• Clocking in/out early (or late) of assigned shift without prior approval.

IV. Departmental Notification Procedure

Employees are expected to follow departmental notification procedures if they will be late for work, will not be at work, or are requesting planned time away from work. Employees must request in advance to their supervisor or designee and in accordance with departmental procedure if they wish to arrive early or leave early from an assigned shift.

At the time of notification/call, the employee must notify their supervisor when an absence is due to a documented/approved leave of absence (e.g. Military Leave, FMLA) in order to ensure appropriate tracking of leave utilization and absenteeism.
