Personal Days


As of August 1st, we will be implementing a new personal day policy. The policy is rather complicated; a comprehensive manual outlining everything in detail will be distributed at a later time. For now, the basic principles of the policy are outlined here:

Personal days must now be accompanied by some verification of the authenticity of the nature of the personal day taken. For example, a dentist's visit must be verified by a note from the dentist. A sample-size of dental floss would also qualify as proof in this case.

Personal days can not be taken in the months of April, June, July, or September.

No more than 1 personal day may be used in a month.

Personal days may not be taken in consecutive months. The aforementioned months do not count in this case. In other words, May and August are treated as consecutive months under the new policy. The same applies for August and October.

Unused personal days do NOT carry over into the next year. They simply disappear.

These policies are retroactive. Thus everyone loses any accumulated personal days. However, you will be awarded 1 free minute of executive washroom privileges for each lost personal day, not to exceed 11 minutes.

Free executive washroom minutes may not be used during business hours (M-F, 9A-6P).

There are several additional restrictions and ramifications, which will be outlined in detail in the aforementioned employee manual. Said manual will be available at a cost of $4.00 per employee. Please make checks payable to the Accounting Department.
