Nonexempt employees whose positions require them to work overtime on a regular basis are expected to be available to work overtime on short notice. Part-time and temporary employees are expected to work those hours designated by the employing department as necessary to fulfill the requirements of their position. An employee whose position is subject to emergency call duty and who subsequently fails to report when called for such duty may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination, unless the employee provides an acceptable reason for the failure to report. Reporting Absence or Tardiness Employees of the university are expected to maintain a punctual and regular attendance record. Being repeatedly late for work or absent from work without good reason is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Departments have their own internal procedures for reporting absences or tardiness.
Refer to the Sick Leave section of this handbook for an explanation of documentation necessary for an absence due to illness. Personal Appearance and Uniforms Employees are expected to use good judgment at all times regarding their personal appearance. Employees are expected to dress appropriately, to be neat, to wear clean clothing and to be careful of personal hygiene. Employees must adhere to special dress standards or uniforms that have been established in their department. Flagrant violations of commonly accepted standards of cleanliness or dress may be cause for disciplinary action.
