(1) Punctual and consistent attendance is a condition of employment.

(2) Employees unable to work or unable to report to work on time should notify their supervisor as soon as possible, ordinarily before the work day begins or within 30 minutes of the employee’s usual starting time. If an absence continues beyond one day, the employee is responsible for reporting in each day. If the supervisor is unavailable, the employee may leave a message with the Town Hall office staff stating the reason for being late or unable to report for work.

(3) Employees are expected to be at work during inclement weather. Supervisors may allow employees to be late or leave early during severe weather conditions; however, nonattendance will be counted as absence from work and will be charged to accrued vacation or comp time.

(4) An employee who is absent without authorization or notification is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination. (Ord. 518 § 2, 2009)
