Study Notes

Attendance Control Policy

The Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation's attendance control policy aims to ensure that each department is fully staffed to meet its commitments.

Employee Responsibilities

Employees are expected to control personal absences, including tardiness.
Employees must personally notify their supervisor of any absence or tardiness within 30 minutes of the start of their scheduled workday.
Employees must contact their supervisor each day for consecutive days of absence.
Employees must notify the Human Resources Department if their supervisor is unavailable.

Requesting Time Off

Employees must notify their department head a minimum of 3 working days in advance for personal time off, personal holiday, or leave of absence.
Employees must follow the procedure above for bona fide emergencies.

Consequences of Absence

Employees who are absent for 3 or more consecutive work days without prior authorization or timely notification will be considered as having voluntarily terminated.
Employees absent for 3 or more consecutive work days due to a non-work-related illness or injury must provide an acceptable physician release to work without restriction.

Department Head Responsibilities

Department heads are responsible for the timely recording of all employee absences and reviewing employee attendance records for corrective action.
Department heads must stress the importance of regular attendance to employees and the effect of absence on fellow workers.
Department heads must encourage dependability by recognizing employees with good attendance records and employees who improve their records.

Attendance/Absenteeism/Tardiness

Absences counted as incidents include all time lost from the job, except for holidays, previously approved personal time off, and other approved leaves.
An employee is considered tardy if not clocked in and at the work station at the start of the scheduled workday.
Excessive absenteeism is defined as 3 incidents within a 30-day period, 5 incidents within a 90-day period, or 12 incidents within a 12-month period.

Disciplinary Procedure

The disciplinary procedure for excessive absenteeism/tardiness follows a progressive sequence of written warnings, disciplinary suspension, and discharge/termination.
Prior written warnings for attendance violations will be removed from the employee's file after 12 consecutive months without disciplinary action.

Recognition/Awards

Employees with perfect attendance in a full calendar year will be recognized and receive a plaque, gift certificate, and/or similar award.
Department heads will review employee records with the Human Resources Department to identify candidates for recognition.
