3.2 TIME AND ATTENDANCE (see see HRMemo no. 1 dated June 19, 2019 in ANNEX 4)

3.2.1 Be at your workplace ready to work when your scheduled workday begins. Continual
flexing of the workday to accommodate habitual tardiness is not permissible. Supervisors
may allow late arrival of 15 minutes or more and repeated tardiness (even if less than 15
minutes) will be dealt with as a performance issue.

3.2.2 You must make sure to note your absence on your personal calendar and the shared
calendar of your supervisor’s choice. It is a professional courtesy, as a member of a team,
to inform your teammates of upcoming approved planned leave.

3.2.3 The school bases your pay on the time and attendance data on the timesheet and leave
slips you complete at the end of each pay period. The timesheet accounts for all hours in
the pay period and must be verified and approved by your supervisor. Timesheets must
reflect your “actual hours worked” during the pay period. If you are unsure of what this
means, please seek clarification from the HRDMO.

Attendance - Punctual, regular and predictable attendance is expected and required according to
your work schedule. Normal or regular working hours should not be more than eight hours in any
one day. Hours of work include all time during which an employee is required to be on duty or to
be at a prescribed workplace, and all time during which an employee is working or permitted to
work.
In the exercise of management prerogative, the employer can reduce the number of
working hours, provided that the principle of non-diminution of benefits is observed.
School hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and offices are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
You must have written confirmation or other specific approval from school authority before using
a different work schedule. Before starting a non-standard work schedule a copy of the memo
describing the agreed upon work schedule, a signed agreement for an official flex schedule, or
other agreed upon work schedule must be filed in your supervisory file, personnel file, and
provided to the HRDMO.

Sick time - You must discuss with your supervisor or immediate head how they would like you to
report a personal illness that prevents you from reporting to work (e.g. phone call and speak
directly to the supervisor, send a text message, or contact another staff designated by the
supervisor/immediate head). The important thing is make contact before your assigned workday
begins.
