SCHEDULES, ILLNESS, AND GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF PERSONNEL

Administrative Procedure

In the best interests of efficiency, internal communications, and good communications and public relations, it is important that the schedule and work area of employees be known at all times.

Please make sure illnesses, work schedule, and necessary work schedule changes are made known to the appropriate personnel. In the central office, the receptionist should be aware of these. In the absence of the receptionist, please notify the superintendent's secretary. The financial secretary will then be notified of sick days used.

Each principal needs a procedure in the school for this purpose.

The small amount of time required to do this pays off in long range efficiency and improved communications and relationships with all persons who come in contact with the school.

Every person in our school system with personnel supervisory responsibilities should emphasize the importance of this and follow up with individual employees when necessary to insure that every effort is made in this direction.
