The periods of work required of the classified employees shall be clearly specified to ensure the smooth and regular operation of the School District.

Where not otherwise specified in the terms of the collectively negotiated agreement, the Board of Education reserves the right to specify the working hours for classified employees members.

All classified employees members are obligated to report regularly for the performance of their duties except as authorized by these policies and approved by the Superintendent. During a period of authorized absence, partial or full compensation may be paid within the limitations of these policies and the laws governing such absences.

Absences not approved by the Superintendent, acting under Board policies and State statutes, shall be considered as unauthorized and no payment of salary shall be made. Unauthorized absence from duty may be considered by the Board as cause for suspension or dismissal of a classified employees member.

The Superintendent shall develop appropriate administrative guidelines to implement this policy.
