A doctor’s excuse will not negate the accrual of an occurrence for an unplanned absence. HR 5016 Staff Attendance & Tardiness is a no-fault policy, which means the reason for any Unplanned Absences, No-Call/No-Shows or Tardiness is not a factor in determining disciplinary action.
Per the policy, unplanned absences related to an employee’s own inpatient hospitalization are not counted as attendance occurrences . This excludes visits to the Emergency Room and/or Urgent Care that do not result in inpatient admission.
