General Rules and Procedures. 1. This rule operates independent of the benefit provisions of the parties’ agreement concerning approval of absences or pay for absences as sick or other time. Qualification for pay or approval under such provisions does not affect the assignment of the absence occurrence under this policy.
2. Any employee who must see a physician or dentist during working hours will not be charged with a Partial Day or Absence Occurrence, provided the employee notifies the Transportation Department one (1) week before the scheduled appointment, in writing, and it is established by the Transportation Department that it was impossible for the employee to get an appointment during non-working hours. Such notification must include the name and telephone number of the physician or dentist.
3. If an employee leaves early one day because of illness or non-industrial injury and then continues his/her absence the following day(s), continuously, the employee will be charged with occurrence(s) only under the Full Day absenteeism plan. In this application, the day of the Leave Early shall count as a day of absence under the Full Day policy.
4. Missing daily overtime previously agreed to, or any extra assignments bid for or accepted, will be charged as a “Leave Early” or “Full Day Absence,” based upon the hours missed, unless permission has been granted in advance by the District to miss the assignment.
5. Each employee will have the opportunity once each calendar year to declare one (1) day of absence as an emergency which will be excluded from computation under the program, i.e. does not count as an absence and it does not prohibit the earning of a credit for perfect attendance. Claiming an emergency must be done no later than the first day upon returning to work after the emergency. If an employee has any additional emergency absences during the calendar year, they will be charged under the Absenteeism Program. The preceding rule will also apply to one (1) tardiness and one (1) leave work emergencies per calendar year. Emergencies may not be taken the day before or the day after holidays or school vacations unless there is, in the opinion of the Transportation Department, a proven, clear need for the emergency.
6. Nothing contained within this program shall relieve an employee from making proper application for leaves in cases where that is required, and does not preclude the District from taking appropriate action against employees who ignore their responsibilities under this por...
