Absence Occurrence. “Absence Occurrence” shall mean an absence from work due to a single episode of illness of the employee for one or more work days, not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days to be credited against one Unit of Benefit. An employee may not use two IPP Units of Benefit concurrently. Once an employee receives Self- Insured Short- T erm Disability Income Protection Plan (IPP) benefits for ninety (90) days, they are typically eligible for Long Term Disability (see Section IV of this policy). Absences for which the employee will be paid under the Self-Insured Short-Term Disability Income Protection Plan without reduction of Units of Benefit include the following:
Absence Occurrence. An absence occurrence is an absence event that occurs and is stopped by the return to work or documentation that indicates you are capable to return to work (i.e. a documented absence due to illness that is a one day or multiple days each of which would be counted as one absence). In the event of the first two partial day absences in a rolling 12-month period the two partial days will be counted as one absence occurrence. This absence occurrence will drop from the record on the anniversary date of the second partial day absence used to form the absence occurrence. Any subsequent partial day absences during a rolling 12-month period will be counted as an absence occurrence.
Absence Occurrence. Each single day of unexcused absence counts as one occurrence. • For bus drivers and attendants an unexcused absence for one specific portion of a day (morning, mid- day or afternoon route) counts as one-half (1/2) of one occurrence • Each tardy or early departure instance (arriving between 7 minutes and 1 hour late or leaving up to 7 minutes or 1 hour early) counts as one half (1/2) occurrence. • Each unexcused absence reporting by an employee will count as one occurrence. • If an employee is tardy and a substitute has already replaced the driver, management may, at its discretion, send the employee home for the shift. All attendance violations will be noted in the employee's personnel file and the employee will be notified of such.
