Attendance and Punctuality

To maintain a productive and efficient work environment, Lakeland expects employees to be reliable and punctual in reporting for scheduled work. Every employee has an obligation to his fellow employees and to Lakeland to be at work on all scheduled days and to report to work on time. Absenteeism and tardiness are disruptive and burdensome on fellow employees and adversely affects Lakeland?s ability to service member libraries. Where an employee cannot avoid being late to work or absent from work as scheduled, he or she should notify his or her supervisor as soon as possible in advance of the time scheduled to work. The employee must notify his or her supervisor on each day that he or she is unable to report to work.

Failure to comply with this policy may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
