The employee will be on duty or will return to work from an absence unless he reports as indicated in this policy. Failure to report for duty and/or to follow the dictates of this policy in reporting absences shall cause a corresponding loss of pay for the employee and he may also be disciplined. The supervisor or designee will accept the calls, or a message may be left on the department answering machine. There will be no pay for unexcused absences the day before or after a holiday or vacation day. The term 'day' means 'scheduled work day' and the term 'excused' shall mean 'absence for any reason except a sick day with a doctor's excuse or a pre-approved leave. When an employee is to be absent from work, he shall notify his supervisor or his designee of his impending absence no less than one-half (½) hour (except for the 24/7 employees which still requires one hour call in time) prior to the time he was to begin duty, or a message will be left on the department answering machine. The supervisor may waive the requirement if he judges the situation to be one which would prevent the employee from complying.
