supervisor/manager by text, phone call or email, as far in advance as possible, whenever an
employee will be absent, late for work or must leave early. Employees who call in on the day of
the absence, tardiness or must leave early will be considered as having an unscheduled PTO. In
order to have scheduled PTO, employees must call in the day before the request date. If an
employee does not receive confirmation from his/her supervisor/manager regarding an absence or
tardiness within one (1) hour, notification should be made to the People Operations Department.

Tardiness: Non-exempt employees who are late to work in less than one (1) hour and who have
not notified their supervisor/manager of their expected tardiness may lose their right to work the
balance of the workday. Supervisors/managers have the option of requiring the employee to take
unscheduled PTO or time without pay for the absence.

Leaving Early: Employees must obtain permission from their supervisor/manager prior to leaving
Mission premises during work hours. In addition, employees who are frequently away from
Mission premises for business reasons should inform their supervisor/manager of their
whereabouts during work hours.

Prohibition on Make-up Time: Non-exempt employees are prohibited from working any period
of time before or after scheduled starting or quitting times for the purpose of making up time lost
because of tardiness, authorized or unauthorized absences, or any other reason.

Health Related Absences: If the absence is health related and extends for three (3) or more
consecutive days, the employee will need a doctor’s note/certification confirming that he/she may
return to work listing any restrictions, if applicable.

Discipline: If attendance problems are not corrected, employees who have excessive absences,
early departures and late arrivals will be considered as having unsatisfactory attendance and will
be subject to corrective action, up to and including termination of employment. Unsatisfactory
attendance trends may also affect an employee’s performance appraisals, promotion potential
and/or salary increases.

Time-Off Request: Employees should make their requests for time off with their
supervisor/manager as soon as possible. This allows the supervisor/manager time to make any
required work schedule adjustments. Unfortunately, there will be times when department staffing
needs may not allow approval. The earlier the request is received, then the sooner the
supervisor/manager can determine whether or not the absence can be approved. If there is an
emergency that prevents the employee from reporting to work on time, the employee must
immediately call, text or email his/her respective supervisor/manager or the People Operations
Department.

Job Abandonment: Not reporting to work or not notifying management of the absence is a serious
matter. Incidents of an employee not reporting to work for less than three (3) days or an employee
calling his/her supervisor/manager may result in corrective action, up to and including termination
