Children in the office Sample Clauses

Children in the office. MCN acknowledges that its Employees hold broader roles beyond their professional work, including caregiving for children and that various life events arise where guardians may need to be with their child(ren) during MCN business hours (8:30a-4:30p). In such cases, the Employee will notify their supervisor as soon as possible and will work with their supervisor to decide the best course of action for the day in order to balance the needs of the Employee, their child(ren), and the organization, including a plan for delegation of work if needed. Circumstances in which Employees want to bring children into the workplace during MCN’s business hours (8:30a – 4:30p) generally fall into the following acceptable categories: a) In the event of an unpredictable situation. b) Brief visits (e.g., an Employee brings their child, grandchild, or other minor relative in to introduce that child to coworkers). c) Specific events that are employer-sanctioned and at which attendance by children is encouraged (e.g., Take Your Child to Work Day). Abuse of policy: Children are not to be brought to the workplace on a regular basis in lieu of childcare
