Handbook - Timeliness / Absences

Arrival and Departure Times / Staff No-Shows
If you cannot be on time you must call and give the coordinator sufficient notice. Chronic tardiness will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge.

Instructors are expected to arrive prepared to begin teaching at the time the class begins. Unapproved absences are unacceptable and will receive a verbal warning (1st offense), written warning (2nd offense) which will be signed by the Director, and termination (3rd offense).


Absence and lateness
If you’re going to be absent or late, you must contact someone here by phone. (See Contacts section of this handbook.) E-mails might not be read until it’s too late for something to be done about the situation (sign on the door, substitute, announcement to the class, etc.).

Basic English instructors, please contact me OR someone in the Noncredit Registration Office (if you can’t reach me).
Saturday instructors can also contact the ACT/SkillsMax Center at 287-5750.

ALSO, be sure to send an e-mail as backup information. We have a large and growing program, and it is difficult to keep track of everyone’s whereabouts all the time. This will help reduce confusion and missed information.
