From: Personel Subject:SICK LEAVE & LEAVE OF ABSENCE NEW REGULATIONS. Sickness: Absolutly no excuse. We will no longer accept your doctor's statment as proof, as we belive that if you are able to visit your doctor, you are able to come to work. Leave of Absence: (for surgery): We are no longer allowing this practice. We wish to discourage any thought that you may have about needing an operation. We believe that as long as you are employed here, you will need all of whatever you have, and should not consider having anything removed. We hired you as you are, and to have anything removed would certainly make you less than we bargained for. Death: (Other than your own): This is no excuse for absence. There is nothing you can do for them now, and we are sure that someone else in a lesser position can attent to the arrangments. However if the funeral can be held in the late afternoon, we will be glad to let you off one hour early, provided that your share of work is ahead enough to keep the job going in your absence. Death: (Your own): This will be accepted as an excuse for absence, but we would like a two-week notice, as we feel that it is your duty to teach someone else your job. Also: Too much time is being spent in the Rest Rooms. in the future, we will follow in the practice of going to the rest rooms in alphabetical order. For example, those whose names begin with "A" will go from 10AM to 10:05AM. "B" will go from 10:05AM to 10:10AM and so on. if you are unalbe to go at your time, it will be necessary to wait until the day when your turn comes again.
