Absences

In accordance with the Seneca’s Attendance/Absenteeism/Accommodation Policy and Procedures, all employees are required to follow procedures with respect to reporting absences and providing medical certification when absent as a result of illness, injuries and other circumstances that may cause them to miss work.

Unless the campus/College is officially closed, employees are required to be at work. Employees absent from work due to weather conditions will be required to utilize a vacation day, lieu day or a leave of absence without pay. If you are absent from work, please contact your supervisor directly. Please take a moment to review the College’s procedures in the event of closing due to severe weather conditions or other situations.
