Common use of Reporting Off Work Clause in Contracts

Reporting Off Work. If any employee cannot report for duty as expected, the immediate supervisor or designee must be notified before the beginning of the workshift for that Nurse. Notification must be made by speaking to the supervisor; voicemails, e-mails or text messages are acceptable if the supervisor is not available when calling in. Besides leaving a message if a supervisor is not available, another supervisor or a director must also be notified by phone, voicemail, e-mail or text message. When the employee has contacted the second supervisor (when the first is not available), the employee’s responsibility is complete. If the employee’s absence extends more than one day, the employee should be prepared to provide a reason for the absence and an anticipated date of return. An employee who does not report for work, and fails to notify the immediate supervisor within a half hour (30 minutes) of the start of the workday, may be considered absent without leave and may not be paid for that day. If an employee is absent from the Health District for a period of more than 3 days without having notified their immediate supervisor, employment may be terminated.
