Reliable and punctual attendance is an essential function of all positions with the Company. Absenteeism and tardiness place a burden on other employees and on the Company. In the rare instance when an employee cannot avoid being late to work or is unable to work as scheduled, he or she should notify the supervisor as soon as possible in advance of the anticipated tardinessorabsence.

If the Company is required to comply with the FMLA, it will follow the outlined policy to administer FMLA leave for the Company's eligible employees. This policy is intended to provide employees with a general description of their FMLA rights. In the event of any conflict between this policy and the applicable law, employees will be afforded all rights required by law.
