Overview/Policy Statement
Any employee who is absent for three or more consecutive working days (based on his or her normal work schedule) without notifying his or her management may be terminated for job abandonment and may not be eligible for rehire.
Managers and employees are responsible for adherence to company policy. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Rationale
In order to meet business challenges, The Hartford requires employees to provide notice of absences in accordance with our Paid-Time-Off Bank Policy.
Scope
This policy applies to all employees in all U.S. locations of The Hartford.
Applying the Policy
- When an employee is not able to give notice of absence until after the start of the workday when he or she will be out of work, he or she must provide notice of absence to his or her manager at the earliest moment possible, including an anticipated return to work date.
- If, after 24 hours, the absent employee has not notified his or her manager, the supervisor will attempt to contact the employee to obtain information about the absence.
