WORKPLACE GUIDELINES

EMPLOYEE CONDUCT AND PERFORMANCE

It is the duty and the responsibility of every Police FCU Employee to be aware of and abide by existing
Credit Union policies and procedures. Additionally, employees shall perform their assigned duties to
the best of their ability and to the standards set forth in their job descriptions.

ABSENTEEISM, TARDINESS, AND EARLY DEPARTURES

Each employee is hired as an important and necessary person to fulfill the objectives and obligations
of Police FCU; therefore, each person is needed on the job everyday they are scheduled to work.
When employees are absent or tardy, work and services are interrupted and an additional burden is
placed on colleagues.

It is essential that all employees follow the proper protocol about attendance, punctuality, early

departures, and other absences. The proper protocol is defined as notifying your Supervisor or his or
her designee regarding absences and late arrivals no less than one (1) hour prior to your scheduled
shift, completion of necessary forms to record absences from work, and providing medical
documentation for absences when requested. Relatives or friends should not call on your behalf
unless you are medically incapable to do so yourself. Employees shall make every effort to speak
directly with their Supervisor rather than a co-worker, unless that individual has been designated by
their Supervisor to accept the call on their behalf.

The same absence and tardiness protocol should be followed if an employee plans to arrive late or
leave early on a workday. If an employee anticipates being absent, late to work due to traffic or a
personal emergency, the employee is required to call his or her Supervisor at a minimum of one hour
prior to their start time.

Attendance, punctuality, and reliability are important factors in evaluating individual performance, job
transfers, promotions, and continued employment. Failure to follow the proper protocol, as well as
patterns of tardiness, unauthorized absenteeism, and early departure, may result in disciplinary

action.
