Article 15: Absence Without Leave

15.1

Employees who are to be absent from work are required to call their supervisor in accordance with the work place practices in effect or instructions from their supervisor. Failure to follow proper procedures may result in denial of approval for the leave requested and/or disciplinary action.

15.2

Failure of the employee to notify the College of an absence for more than three (3) consecutive days may be regarded as job abandonment and will be considered as a voluntary resignation.

15.3

Such automatic terminations shall be rescinded when it is determined by the College that the circumstances of such absence were justified and precluded giving notification or receiving approval for such absence. The College may require satisfactory evidence supporting the absence.
