Absence from Work

If you will be absent from work for any reason, you are responsible for notifying your department within the first hour of your regularly-scheduled time for reporting to work. Your department has the option of requiring earlier notification. If you do not notify your department that you will be absent, or have someone notify the department for you if you are not able to, your absence will be considered unauthorized and may result in disciplinary action. The University may terminate employment if an employee fails to report to work and fails to notify supervisors (no call/no show) for three consecutive days of scheduled work, or under other circumstances where it appears that the employee has abandoned the position. Termination will be effective as of the last day worked.

Employees who are absent from work due to reasons qualifying for sick leave under Board of Trustees Policy 420.3 are required to timely notify their supervisor and submit leave in Workday for such absence.  A health care provider’s note or other documentation may be required.  Notification should generally occur within the first hour of the University workday.
