Attendance & Pay Guidelines: Absences and Holiday Pay

Understanding when employees are eligible for holiday compensation and how different types of absences affect their pay can help ensure proper payroll processing during holiday periods.

Unapproved Absences

Definition:
An unapproved absence occurs when a team member cancels or does not report for their scheduled sessions without submitting an approved leave request (e.g., PTO, Sick Time).

Compensation:

• Unapproved absences are unpaid.

• Since no services are delivered and no approved time-off request is on file, the team member is not eligible for payment for those missed hours.

Approved Absences

Definition:
Approved absences include time that has been pre-approved through appropriate channels (e.g., PTO requests, Sick Time requests).

Compensation:

• Hourly team members: Paid according to their PTO payout rate for approved absences.

• Salaried team members: Continue to receive their regular salaried pay regardless of approved absences.

Holiday Pay

Eligibility:
Team members who are scheduled and who work on an approved practice-designated holiday.

Compensation:

• Hourly team members working on a holiday receive the applicable holiday differential rate, if one is assigned for their role and clinic.

• Salaried team members receive their regular salaried pay, as holiday differentials typically do not apply.
