Common use of Reporting Absences Clause in Contracts

Reporting Absences. Employees are required to submit the district’s absence verification form following every absence. Employees shall submit the absence form following each leave, whether paid or unpaid, within five (5) business days of return to work. For paid absences of unknown duration that extend longer than two weeks, the employee shall submit the form at least every calendar month during the absence unless he/she is incapacitated, in which case the employee’s immediate supervisor shall submit the absence form. This is to assure that the employee on a paid leave has adequate leave available to avoid an overpayment. The absence forms are to be signed by the employee’s supervisor and submitted to the Payroll Department promptly within the above timelines. An approved request for leave of absence does not relieve the employee of the obligation to submit an absence verification form upon return.
