Failure to Report for Work. An employee failing to report for work as scheduled shall be subject to disciplinary action. If within twenty-four (24) hours of when the employee's shift was to begin the employee furnishes a justifiable excuse for the failure to report, there shall be no discipline. If emergency circumstances prevented the employee from timely furnishing the excuse, there shall be no discipline; provided, however, that the explanation of the emergency circumstances shall be given (a) within seventy-two (72) hours after the employee first failed to report for work as scheduled, and (b) before the employee is allowed to return to work. If the seventy-two (72) hours deadline is not met, the employee shall be deemed to have resigned.
