I.
Definitions: |
Lateness
- computed from the normal starting time for each employee's regularly
scheduled shift in units of one-tenth of an hour. |
| II.
Policy: |
All
Tompkins County employees are expected to fulfill conditions of
employment by being on time and working full days. Tompkins County
employees will be paid only for hours worked or for those charged
to fringe benefit time that the employee has accumulated. |
| Procedure:
|
Attendance
Lateness is
not condoned. County employees are expected to abide by the hours
established and approved for their position. However, it is recognized
that certain circumstances may result in an employee reporting
late to work. If an employee is late, the time must be accounted
for under the employee's fringe benefits (compensatory time off,
personal leave, or vacation). For those employees entitled to
sick leave, this can only be used if the employee was sick. If
the employee does not have any available fringe time, he/she will
not be compensated for the time absent. The time card must show
actual arrival time. The Department Head reserves the right to
alter the employees work schedule in order to allow the employee
to work their standard number of work hours for the week.Upon
arrival at work, an employee who is late must notify the supervisor
so that arrival time is known. If an employee shows a pattern
of unexplained or unapproved absences or lateness a department
head may elect to take action via employee discipline as specified
through the appropriate bargaining agreement.
Time
Off Without Pay
Occasionally,
an employee will need to take time off for personal reasons and
will have used up all available fringe time (compensatory time
off, personal leave and vacation). Department heads are authorized
to grant employees in their department up to the equivalent of
one full department workweek (35 or 40 hours) as time off without
pay. Time off without pay exceeding one full department workweek
may not be taken without an official leave of absence (see Policy
03-16 and the collective bargaining agreement). An employee
desiring any time off without pay must make a request in writing
to their department head, allowing sufficient time for the request
to be considered. The department head will notify the employee
as to whether the request is granted or denied. Department heads
must request leave of absence without pay from the County Administrator. |
