A. 
Regular and punctual attendance is an essential function of every Town position. Employees must record actual hours worked on a daily basis. These time records shall be submitted electronically to the department head for review and approval each day. The department head and/or the employee's immediate supervisor shall inspect an employee's submittal.
B. 
The Town may implement other forms of recording attendance as technology allows.
C. 
Whenever an employee is unable to report for work as scheduled, the employee shall, prior to the start of his/her shift, personally contact his/her supervisor and/or department head and report that he/she will be late or absent, and state the reason for same. E-mail, text and voice mail messages are acceptable forms of notification.
D. 
Whenever possible, every effort shall be made to schedule appointments during non-working hours. For required appointments which cannot be scheduled outside of working hours, time will be adjusted within the two-week pay period, or time away may be used in two-hour increments for absences.
The regular full-time hours of employment each week shall be at least 40 hours or an average of 80 hours over a two-week pay period with supervisor's approval of schedule. One example of a regular work day for nonexempt Town Hall employees would be 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with one hour for lunch (unpaid). Employees assigned to departments not in Town Hall shall work the schedule of their specific department.
All nonexempt employees are eligible to receive overtime compensation at the rate of 1 1/2 times their regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours per work week in accordance with federal law. Employees classified as executive, administrative or professional based on definitions in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are exempt from overtime pay and therefore not covered by this policy.
Unless Administration orders the closing of a Town facility (other than the public schools) or the stoppage of non-school Town operations pursuant to Chapter 77, Article I, Facility Closings, of the general Town bylaws, all employees shall report to work as scheduled. If an employee is unable to attend work due to circumstances related to the emergency the Administration may allow adjustments to the work schedules.
