Attendance & Punctuality Policy
(Pike Conservation District)

To maintain a productive work environment, Pike County Conservation District expects employees to be reliable and to be punctual in reporting for scheduled work. Absenteeism and tardiness place a burden on other employees and on the District. In the rare instances when employees cannot avoid being late to work or are unable to work as scheduled, they should notify the District Manager in advance, when possible, and no later than 8:30 AM on the day of the anticipated tardiness or absence. Poor attendance and excessive tardiness are disruptive. Either may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Days off should be scheduled with the District Manager at least one week in advance of the anticipated days off. Notice of scheduled time off should also be provided to administrative staff.
