Emergency Time Off. Emergency time off occurs when something that is out of the Employee’s control impacts their ability to report for work. Emergency time off can impact an entire shift, or certain parts of it. Employees must, as soon as possible, contact the manager or manager on duty to inform them of their absence. If, due to the emergency, the employee is not able to assist with finding a replacement for emergency time off, then the employer is responsible to find the replacement shift, without repercussions to the employee.
