Types of Absences. 1. Excused Time Away from Work. There are times when an Associate’s time away from a scheduled work shift (i.e. absence, lateness, breaks, or early out) will be “Excused” based on the situation and/or reason for the Associate’s time away. The following is a non-exhaustive list of events that are considered “Excused Time Away”: • Any requested time off from work that is approved by the Associate’s Manager at least one (1) day in advance; this includes use of Holiday, Vacation, or Paid Time Off; • Time missed, excused by the Family Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”); • Time missed, excused by the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended (“ADA”); • Time missed to attend court-mandated jury duty pursuant to the Jury Duty & Witness Testimony Policy; • Time missed for funeral/bereavement leave pursuant to the Bereavement Policy; • Time missed for military leave as excused by the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (“USERRA”) pursuant to the Military Leave of Absence Policy; • Time missed from work due to inclement weather per the Inclement Weather Policy; • Time missed pursuant to the Election Day Schedules Policy; • Time missed, excused by any other federal, state, or local law; or • Time missed expressly excused by any other Company, Sector, or account policy. • Documentation. The Company reserves the right to request medical or other documentation for an Associate’s Excused Absence. Failure to provide documentation in a timely fashion may result in the missed time being deemed unexcused. • If an Associate misses time away from work for any of the above Excused Absences, the Associate will not receive an Occurrence Point (definition of Occurrence Point is described below). • Follow Call-Out Procedure. Even when an Associate’s time away from work is Excused, regardless if the time away is an absence, lateness, Meal Period and Rest Break Policy violation, or early-out, the Associate must follow the account’s Call-Out Procedure. Failure to follow the Call-Out Procedure will result in performance counseling for violation of the Company’s Work Rules. • Inform Management the Time Missed May be “Excused.” If an Associate believes his/her absence, lateness, Meal Period and Rest Break Policy violation, or early-out may be an Excused Absence, the Associate is responsible for alerting his/her Manager.
