Important ! ! ! !Click for details Aug 3, 2005 County Policy to All Departments Regarding Abuse of Sick Time Leave and Excessive Lateness.  All CSEA members should become aware of this policy statement by reading it themselves. Click the link above for the Adobe pdf file for printing. It will eventually open, be patient.  This is a short recap of the policy:  

Page 1 of the policy (the page past the intro memo) clearly states that an employee may use Sick Time for medical or dental appointments for the employee or for a member of the employee's immediate family. 
Employees calling in Sick must speak to a Supervisor or another in charge and not leave a voice message. That employee must call in every day of being absent.  

Page 2 directs Department Heads to track usage of sick time to produce any patterns of Sick Time abuse by employees at which time the employee must be counseled; if it continues the Law Dept must be summoned to commence discipline charges. 

Page 3 describes procedures for chronic lateness by employees and the need to operate a system of requiring employees to sign in each day, either in person or electronically. The CSEA contract is invoked by the County in detailing the docking procedure for employees who are late more than 5 times in one calendar month.  The Dept Head must affirmatively put the employee on the docking program.  If the conduct does not improve regarding lateness, the Head may request commencement of discipline charges.
