ATTENDANCE POLICY

We count on each other. If you can't make it, please tell us early so we can cover your shift.

Reporting an absence
Call your manager at least two hours before your shift. If you can't reach them, call: ____________
A text message [does / does not] count, unless your manager has agreed to it.

Running late
Call or message your manager as soon as you know. Being honest about it is always better.

Swaps
You can avoid many absences by swapping a shift. See our shift swap policy.

No-call, no-show
If you don't call and don't come in, that's a no-call, no-show.
  First time within 6 months: a written warning
  Second time within 6 months: a final written warning
  Third time within 6 months: this may lead to termination
If we can't reach you after two missed shifts in a row, we may treat that as your resignation.

Emergencies
If an emergency stops you from calling, tell us as soon as you can. We'll take it into account.

Protected time off
Absences protected by law, including sick leave, family or medical leave, jury duty and military leave, won't count against you. Tell us if you think an absence may be protected.

Starting fresh
Occurrences drop off your record after 6 months.

This policy doesn't change anyone's at-will employment status, where that applies.
