TIME AND ATTENDANCE

Training Period

While in their probationary training period (prior to clearing from training), employees are allowed the following missed time before being discharged:

-4 instances of being late and/or leaving early (employment will be terminated on the 5th

incident)

-2 unexcused absences (employment will be terminated on the 3rd _incident)

- zero no call/no shows

Any attendance incidents accumulated during your probationary training period will be counted toward your total number of incidents post training.

Post-Training

This policy applies to all hourly (non-exempt) associates after they have cleared from training.

Occurrences will be based on a rolling 12 month period. Example: if your date of hire was 02/20/2012, any and all accumulated warnings would be cleared from your file as of 02/20/2013.

Bonuses

Any employee with perfect attendance within an individual calendar month will receive a $100 bonus. This includes all overtime/shift trades.

Any employee with “Good Effort” attendance (defined as one incident of being late, leaving early, or an unexcused absence) will be awarded with a $25 bonus.

Employees eligible for the Perfect Attendance/Good Effort bonus must be active for the full calendar month.

Perfect attendance for one year will be rewarded with a $1000 bonus.

Perfect attendance is defined having no non-scheduled absences, and no unscheduled lates/leave earlies within the above specified time frame.

Attendance applies to one rolling year.

What does this mean to you? If you have perfect attendance for one year you will receive bonuses totaling $2,700 above your hourly earnings!

Bonus checks will be issued to the recipient of the award no later than the second payroll of the month following the perfect attendance month.

Any consecutive days missed due to the same issue (medical or personal) will count as one incident. Example: You are out sick with the flu for 3 consecutive days. This would be considered one incident. MAS must have the proper supporting documentation (examples: court documentation, doctor’s note, etc). Any medical absencelonger than three days

If you have a doctor’s note excusing you from work, even though it was not pre-approved, this will be considered an excused absence and will not result in an incident being

documented. MAS must have the proper documentation provided on the first day of the occurrence. Example: a dr. excuses you from work Monday and you are cleared to return on Thursday of the same week. We must have the documentation in the office *on Monday*. The dr. can fax the note to the office.

If your child has a doctor’s note excusing them from school/daycare, the same conditions as above will apply. It will be considered scheduled time away with the proper

documentation received on the first date of the absence.

Any absence with a doctor’s note is considered excused only for the time period stated on the note and will count as one incident. Any time missed beyond that is considered unexcused. Example: The doctor excuses you from work Monday through Wednesday. You are still not feeling well on Thursday and elect to stay home. Thursday would be considered a non-scheduled, unexcused absence.

When calling off for a shift, we must receive notification 3 hours prior to your shift start time. *You must call 701-7444 and speak directly with a supervisor.* Please provide the reason for the call off.

Employees will no longer be allowed to “make-up” missed time from work. Time missed will be deducted from accrued PTO time.

Please note that your first call should be taken at your appointed shift start time. If you fail to punch in, we will use the time of your first call as your start time. In order to punch in and get yourself situated prior to taking your first call, we request that you arrive 5-10 minutes prior to the start of your shift. If you fail to punch out at the end of your shift, the time your last call ended will be used as your punch-out time.

Each employee is responsible for their own punches. Punching in/out on behalf of another employee is not acceptable under any circumstances and will result in disciplinary action. Personnel tasked with time-keeping functions are the only exception.
