ATTENDANCE <br /> Regular attendance is an essential function of every job with the Utilities. Every Utilities <br /> employee has an important role to play in maintaining a productive workplace. Therefore, <br /> it is essential that all employees report to work as scheduled every day. Unsatisfactory <br /> attendance, including reporting late to work and leaving work early may result in <br /> disciplinary action up to and including discharge. <br /> If an employee must be absent from work for any reason, other than approved time off,the <br /> employee must notify his/her immediate supervisor at least thirty(30)minutes prior to the <br /> start of his/her normal working hours. If an emergency prevents the employee from <br /> notifying his/her supervisor at such time, the employee must call his/her immediate <br /> supervisor as soon as possible during the workday. <br /> 19. DISCIPLINE, DISMISSAL & LAY OFF <br /> Discipline. The Utilities retains the right to take disciplinary and other action as it believes <br /> appropriate to manage employee performance and workplace conduct. The type and level <br /> of discipline imposed will be at the Utilities' discretion based upon the nature and severity <br /> of the issue and the circumstances as a whole. <br /> Examples of discipline and other action that may be taken to manage performance and <br /> workplace conduct include, but are not limited to: <br /> • Documented Coaching and Counseling <br /> • Oral reprimand <br /> • Written reprimand <br /> • Performance Improvement Plan <br /> • Suspension <br /> • Demotion <br /> • Termination. <br /> Discipline and other action may be used in any order or combination in the discretion of the <br /> Utilities. In some cases, one or more disciplinary actions will be taken before termination; <br /> in other cases, termination will be immediate. <br /> While the Utilities strives for consistency, the level of discipline taken in any given case <br /> does not establish a controlling precedent for future circumstances. <br /> 15 <br /> November 2015 <br /> March 2017 <br /> 133 <br />
