The Captain will notify the Shift Lieutenant as necessary. If discovered after 23:00 the night before your shift then only send a text message to the officer in charge of scheduling. Do not call the officer in charge of scheduling between the hours of 23:00-07:00.

The officer in charge of scheduling will attempt to find coverage for the said shift.

The Administrative Captain will contact the shift captain letting him/her know the situation and who, if anyone will be the replacement for the assigned employee.

The Chief has the right to require a doctor’s note upon the employee’s return to work.

Any sick shift which extends a pre-arranged vacation shall require a doctor’s note upon return.

Any sick shift which falls on a holiday or employee’s birthday shall require a doctor’s note upon return.
