SUBJECT: Attendance Management
EFFECTIVE: March 4, 2002
REVISED: October 29, 2004; August 23, 2005; August 19, 2013
PURPOSE: To ensure that the supervisory staff monitors staff attendance.
The following employee groups (teachers, custodians, clerical) will be handled on a school by school basis. The district office location will be managed as a separate unit and the bus drivers, maintenance, and information technology personnel will be managed by the transportation, facilities, and information technology managers respectively.
The responsibility for monitoring absences that fall under sick leave must be that of the appropriate supervisor.
REGULATION:
- All employees are responsible to report leave due to sickness immediately to their principal, vice-principal or respective supervisor who will maintain a daily list.
- It is expected that supervisors challenge certain requests and that they do not grant automatic approval (on occasions, seek alternatives to a full day’s absence).
- Personal obligations and commitments should not be scheduled to conflict with work schedules whenever possible.
- Factors to be monitored are the frequency, reasons, and total time lost due to absence, tardiness and early departures.
- Further assistance, if required, can be obtained from Human Resources.
