ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY As an employee of AJK, you are expected to be punctual and regular in attendance. Any tardiness or absence causes problems for your fellow employees and your supervisor. When you are absent, your assigned work must be performed by others. Employees are expected to report to work as scheduled, on time, and prepared to start work. Employees also are expected to remain at work for their entire work schedule, except for meal periods, rest breaks, or when required to leave on authorized AJK business. Late arrival, early departure, or other unanticipated and unapproved absences from scheduled hours are disruptive and must be avoided. If you are unable to report for work on any particular day you must, under all but the most extenuating circumstances, call your supervisor at least one hour before the time you are scheduled to begin working for that day. Excessive absenteeism will not be tolerated and can lead to discipline and/or termination. If you call less than thirty (30) minutes before your scheduled time to begin work and do not arrive in time for your assigned shift, you will be considered tardy for that day, unless your absence is due to a permitted use of Paid Time Off (PTO) for sick time or otherwise excused under California or federal leave law. In all cases of absence or tardiness, employees must provide their supervisor with an honest reason or explanation. Employees also must inform their supervisor of the expected duration of any absence. Excessive unexcused absenteeism or tardiness will not be tolerated. Please refer to the detailed Company Attendance Policy (separate document) for a detailed explanation of attendance expectations. JOB DUTIES During the introductory period, your supervisor will explain your job responsibilities and the performance standards expected of you. Be aware that your job responsibilities may change at any time during your employment. From time to time, you may be asked to work on special projects, or to assist with other work necessary or important to the operation of your department or AJK. Your cooperation and assistance in performing such additional work is expected. AJK reserves the right, at any time, with or without notice, to alter or change job responsibilities, reassign, or transfer job positions, or assign additional job responsibilities.
