Examples of such employees could be security, engineers or other heating plant and maintenance personnel, snow removal employees, food service employees, university hospital-based employees, animal care employees, clinical department employees, research employees, administrative support, etc. Designated Required Attendance Employees must remain at work or report to work. Employees who fail to remain at or report to work may be considered Absent Without Approval pending discussion with their supervisor. Annually, or on a rotating schedule, certain employees will be designated by their supervisors as Required Attendance Employees. This designation should be put in writing indicating that these employees provide critical services and are required to report to work or remain at work.
Human resources can provide guidance on making the determination.
Other staff are permitted to arrive up to two hours after their normal scheduled start time or may choose not to report to work. Employees not reporting to work should follow department procedures to report absence. Time will be charged to vacation leave, if available, otherwise as unpaid leave. Employees who report to work within two hours of the normal start time will not experience a loss of pay or have time charged to leave. When the Delayed Arrival Plan is invoked, it means that all Required Attendance Employees are to report to work at the regularly scheduled start time.
