Unanticipated Absences

The University understands that there are times when an employee will have unanticipated absences. If it is necessary to be absent from work due to sickness or for any other personal reason, the employee must notify her/his supervisor before the start of her/his scheduled workday if possible, or as soon thereafter as possible. The Supervisor must also be contacted on each additional day of absence. The University has the right to require reasonable documentation for absences of more than three consecutive days or in cases where there is a clear pattern of unscheduled absences on a day immediately before or after a holiday, weekend, or scheduled vacation. Failure to notify your supervisor of an absence for three (3) consecutive days will be considered a voluntary resignation.
