• Full-time therapists are expected to attend mandatory meetings, including staff meetings and case conferences. Every effort will be made to keep these meetings within normal business
hours, but the times and/or dates of these staff meetings may fall outside normal business hours.
• False representation of the reason you are absent from work may lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Because the company depends on its employees to be at work at their scheduled times, excessive tardiness and absenteeism may lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination. The determination of excessive tardiness and absenteeism will be made at the discretion of the company.
If you are absent without notice for three days in a row, you will be considered as having abandoned your job, and the Company will process your work separation as a voluntary resignation on your part.
