FBC Jacksonville Employee Handbook 2025

Excessive excused absences or tardiness . The Company defines excessive excused absences as 5 absences/tardies in a 12-month period or when these absences become a disruption to the workforce. Where appropriate, employees with an excessive number of excused absences will be counseled, including a day off without pay up and or subject to discharge. This rule does not apply to any absences or tardies covered by any legally protected leave. Attendance/tardiness violations are not combined with any other Company disciplinary violations. 1. Unless the employee’s supervisor has given prior approval, any employee reporting for work (clocking or signing in) five (5) minutes or more after his or her scheduled starting time may be charged with an unexcused tardy. An employee may not clock in any earlier than five (5) minutes prior to his/her scheduled starting time without prior approval from management. 2. Any employee reporting for work (clocking or signing in) more than one hour after his or her scheduled starting time without advance approval may, at the option of the supervisor, be sent home for the day and charged with an unexcused absence (2 pts). 3. Generally, any absence, tardy or incomplete shift incident without prior approval of management will follow point system. 4. Any employee who will be tardy or absent from work due to circumstances beyond his or her control, such as personal illness or injury, should give his or her supervisor (or other designated management official) at least two (2) hours notice prior to the employee’s scheduled reporting time. The employee must do all the communicating of absences. Having a spouse, child, other relative, acquaintances, etc., call in is not acceptable. The only exception will be for those employees who are hospitalized and cannot communicate an absence to their supervisor. Failure to provide such notice may cause the absence or tardiness to be treated as unexcused, depending upon the circumstance of each case. 5. Any employee reporting that he or she expects to be tardy must tell his or her supervisor (or other designated management official) the expected time of arrival. Similarly, when an employee reports that he or she will be absent, the employee must give an expected date of return. Daily notification is required except in the case of extended treatment for a severe illness beyond one (1) week, hospitalization, or other approved leave of absence. In the event of an extended illness or injury, the employee must notify the Human Resources Department of his/her status at least once weekly, or as otherwise
