Common use of Absences and Tardiness Clause in Contracts

Absences and Tardiness. The Institute creates enrollment coordinator work schedules so as to effectively answer incoming calls. We ask that you make every effort to work your scheduled shift each day. This includes being at your computer and ready to accept calls at the start of each shift, remaining at work until the end of that shift, and minimizing your time away from your computer (other than meal periods, rest breaks, and scheduled work activities such as meetings with your supervisor, which are already factored in to your schedule). We also ask that you notify us in advance of necessary absences whenever possible. The Institute may discipline employees for unexcused absences, tardiness, or early departures, as appropriate. Likewise, the Institute may discipline employees for excessive amounts of worked time not spent speaking with customers or ready to do so. Disciplinary action may include verbal or written warnings, suspension, or termination. Absences that are protected by applicable law will not result in disciplinary action.
