Failure of an employee to notify the College of an absence for more than three (3) consecutive days will be considered job abandonment and treated as a voluntary resignation except in verifiable cases of extreme emergency where the employee is prevented from giving notification by events beyond their control. Such resignation is irrevocable and shall not be subject to the grievance procedure.

9.3

All work place absences are subject to approval from the supervisor.
