Health-Related Issues
An employee who becomes aware of any health-related issue, including pregnancy, should notify their supervisor and Human Resources of one’s health status. This policy has been instituted strictly to protect the employee. Prior to returning to work following a long-term absence that is health-related, a written “permission to work” from the employee’s doctor is required before the employee may resume work. The doctor’s note should specify whether the employee is able to perform regular duties as outlined in his/her job description.
A leave of absence may be granted on a case-by-case basis. If the need arises for a leave of absence, employees should notify their supervisor and Human Resources.
Building Security
All employees who are issued keys to the office are responsible for their safekeeping. The last employee, or a designated employee, who leaves the office at the end of the business day assumes the responsibility to ensure that all doors are securely locked, the alarm system is armed, thermostats are set on appropriate evening and/or weekend setting, and all appliances and lights are turned off with exception of the lights normally left on for security purposes. Employees are not allowed on School property after hours without prior authorization from the Head of School. Employees found to be sharing keys, alarm codes or badges are subject to disciplinary procedures up to and including possible termination. Should an employee have need for a key, alarm code or badge the employee should contact Human Resources immediately.
Insurance on Personal Effects
All employees should be sure that their own personal insurance policies cover the loss of anything occasionally left at the office. Levine Academy assumes no risk for any loss or damage to personal property whether in the building or in the parking lot. Employees should be diligent in securing any personal property and ensuring they remained in locked areas at all times.
