If for any reason it is impossible to arrive on time or report for work that day, the unit member shall notify their supervisor or the designated alternate as soon as possible, but not later than thirty (30) minutes before the reporting time. Absences shall be reported to the supervisor on a daily basis unless the unit member has submitted a doctor’s note to Human Resources excusing the unit member from work for a designated period of time.
