5.5 Making Up Time
Occasionally, employees may be authorized to take time off
from their normal workday for certain absences that are not covered by
other leave policies. In this event, although there is no obligation to
do so, a supervisor may reschedule the work of an employee, provided the
work load is sufficient to justify it and adequate supervision is available.
Make-up time should not be scheduled so as to require overtime pay.
Time lost from the normal workday should be reported as unpaid and the
make-up time reported, when worked, as time worked. If making up lost
time involves work after the normal workday, employees and supervisors
should make arrangements to have at least one other person nearby in case
of an emergency, particularly in hazardous areas or remote locations.
