Staffing needs and operational demands may necessitate variations in beginning and ending times, as well as variations in the total hours that may be scheduled each day and week. An employee is considered absent if he or she is not present for work on scheduled time.

Since delay in arrival or unnoticed absentees put extra work load on fellow employees and hamper smooth run of the organization, reporting for work regularly and on time is essential. This must be in the daily discipline of the employee.

Failure in reporting to work on time and tardiness will result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
