What is the CHALK attendance policy?
If you are late to or have an unexcused absence from a scheduled shift, meeting, or CHALK event 3 times within 30 days, you will be put on a 30-day probation.
If you are late again within this probation period you get an LDA (Letter of Disciplinary Action)
As described in the LDA, you will have a post LDA meeting which will be 30 days after the initial LDA. This meeting will be held in person with your Coordinator. The 30-day period after your first LDA is called an LDA probation.
(please note there are 2 separate probations)
You will also receive a 2nd LDA if you are late or have an unexcused absence from a scheduled shift, meeting or CHALK event within the 30 day of the 1st LDA probation (time between LDA and post LDA meeting)
The LDA probation period for your 2nd LDA is 60 days.
A 3rd LDA would require the employee to be “up for termination”. When “up for termination” the employee’s employment status will be decided by other youth staff, unless there are confidentiality or employer mandate issues.
(If you aren’t terminated and go through this process again your supervisor will decide if you are terminated or not)
