FC_seasonal_attendance_policy.com 2 Revised August, 2013 Associates must also seek permission to leave their shift early from their manager at least one hour prior to departing unless an emergency situation makes it impossible to request to leave one hour early. Associates who fail to personally inform their direct manager that they are leaving their shift early will face automatic termination for shift abandonment.Discipline ProgressionAssociates are responsible for tracking their attendance points. When an associate reaches five points, a Final Written Warning will be issued to the associate. Termination of employment will occur if an associate accumulates six points, even if the associate does not receive a Final Written Warning. Three Final Written Warnings in one twelve-month period will result in termination of employment. Documented Medical Absences Points WaiverTwice in a calendar year, associates who miss work because of personal illness or injury will have attendance points waived if they present adequate medical documentation at their first shift returning to work. The medical documentation must provide (a) date(s) of treatment; (b) date(s) the associate was incapacitated; and (c) a statement that the associate is medically fit to return to work (including, if applicable, that they are no longer contagious). Associates providing this medical documentation may apply accrued, paid personal time at their option to receive pay during these absences. Associates may seek an attendance waiver for personal illness or injury for two incidents per calendar year; anincident is a period of absence of six or less calendar days. The waiver is only applicable to associates own personal illness or injury.Leaves of AbsenceAbsences of seven or more calendar days may qualify as a medical leave of absence. Associates who miss work for seven or more calendar days (regardless of number of shifts missed) will begin to accumulate attendance points for each absence unless they provide to Human Resources a completed request for a Leave of Absence on or before their seventh calendar day of absence. If the leave of absence is denied, each absence will count as an individual attendance infraction. Associates will not receive attendance points for approved leaves of absence. Personal medical absences that qualify for approved FMLA or are caused by a work-related injury or illness are covered through our leave of absence policies. Please review the FMLA and non-FMLA leave of absence policies or contact the Employee Resource Center or your local HR team for more information. |
