	Punctuality and regular attendance is very important to the operation of Tree of Life Open Bible Church's business, and is the responsibility of each employee. Tardiness and absences cause a slow-down in operations and creates an added burden for fellow employees. Good attendance is something that is expected from all employees. As such, employees are expected to report to work at their scheduled start time and be prepared to begin their workday. Employees are also expected to remain at work for their entire workday. Late arrivals, early departures or other absences from scheduled hours are disruptive and should be avoided as much as possible.

 === Health Policy Related Absences ===
 If you are already at work, and you begin showing signs of illness similar to those that would exclude a student from the Center according to the [[Staff Health Policy|Staff Health Policy]], you may be asked by the Director or Administration to leave before the end of your shift. If your symptoms are not severe enough to warrant leaving, you will still be asked to refrain from food service responsibilities per ServSafe regulations. You may also be asked to leave if you have any non-contagious illnesses/injuries that hinder your ability to complete your required duties. Depending on the severity, type, and length of symptoms, you may also be asked for a note from a medical professional before returning to work.
