<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Objective:<br /><br /></strong>The purpose of this policy is to set forth {{division:name}} policy and procedures for handling employee absences and tardiness to promote the efficient operation of the company and minimize unscheduled absences.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Policy:<br /><br /></strong>Punctual and regular attendance is an essential responsibility of each employee at {{division:name}}. Employees are expected to report to work as scheduled, on time and prepared to start working. Employees also are expected to remain at work for their entire work schedule. Late arrival, early departure or other absences from scheduled hours are disruptive and must be avoided.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 1.5; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Absence:</em></strong><strong><br /></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">"Absence" is defined as the failure of an employee to report for work when he or she is scheduled to work . The two types of absences are defined below:</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Excused absence</em></strong> occurs when all the following conditions are met:</span>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The employee provides to his or her supervisor sufficient notice at least 24 hours in advance of the absence.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The absence request is approved in advance by the employee's supervisor.<br /></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Unexcused absence</em></strong> occurs when any of the above conditions are not met. If it is necessary for an employee to be absent or late for work because of an illness or an emergency, the employee must notify his or her supervisor no later than the employee's scheduled starting time on that same day. If the employee is unable to call, he or she must have someone make the call.</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">An unexcused absence counts as one occurrence for the purposes of discipline under this policy.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Employees with one or more consecutive days of excused absences <em>because of illness or injury</em>&nbsp; must give proof of physician's care and a fitness for duty release prior to returning to work.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Late / half day attendance / full day leave:</em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Any employee reaching the office after 08.15 p.m. shall be considered as late.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Three lates in a month will be considered as 1 unpaid leaves and salary will be deducted accordingly.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Attendance is greater than 67% marked as full day (Present).</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Attendance is less than 67% and greater than 18% marked as Unpaid Half day (UH-D).</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Attendance is less than 17% marked as Absent (A).</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Tardiness and Early Departures:</em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Employees are expected to report to work and return from scheduled breaks on time. If employees cannot report to work as scheduled, they must notify their supervisor no later than their regular starting time. This notification does not excuse the tardiness but simply notifies the supervisor that a schedule change may be necessary.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Employees who must leave work before the end of their scheduled shift must notify a supervisor immediately.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Disciplinary Action:</em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Excessive absenteeism is defined as two or more occurrences of unexcused absence in a 30-day period and will result in disciplinary action.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong><em>Job Abandonment:</em></strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Any employee who fails to report to work for a period of three days or more without notifying his or her supervisor will be considered to have abandoned the job and voluntarily terminated the employment relationship.</span></p>
