Occasional Tardiness Sample Clauses

Occasional Tardiness. Occasional tardiness of one hour or less beyond the employee’s normal starting time or beyond the time that the employee would normally report back from his/her lunch break or period of approved absence may be excused by the supervisor based upon acceptable circumstances. When tardiness is not excused, the supervisor shall permit the employee to take appropriate leave and/or allow the employee, if practicable, to make up the period of tardiness by working later on the workday he/she was tardy. The period of tardiness made up by working later in the workday can be in any increment, not necessarily limited to 15-minute increments, since time and attendance data entry is not required. This section does not apply to an employee to whom a leave requirements letter has been issued. This section does not waive management’s right to charge AWOL and/or take disciplinary action regarding tardiness when an employee’s timely presence is required due to a regular or specific assignment, duty, or responsibility or their tardiness is considered beyond occasional. If the employee’s request to make up a period of tardiness is denied, he or she will be notified before the Agency charges the employee as being Absent Without Leave (AWOL).
