Your absence

It is expected that all college staff will meet their commitments and will be present as required by the Employment / Contractor Agreement.  In the case of unexpected illness or an accident, running late, or not coming to work at all, you must inform your supervisor, or the senior college representative at the earliest opportunity.

You must provide an indication of the length of absence if possible, any outstanding issues needing attention, and it is expected that you be contactable by phone during your absence. Absences exceeding one day will generally require a medical certificate if illness related.

Inappropriate behavior related to absence includes:

• Absence without legitimate excuse and/or failure to follow notification procedures.
• Chronic or repeated absenteeism without sufficient medical evidence resulting in failure to perform assigned duties, or impairment of the operation of the work unit.
• Repeated tardiness without legitimate excuse and/or failure to follow notification procedures.
