OUTREACH

Leaders with high staff attendance communicate policies, set expectation and think out of the box.

   "I remind staff of the district's attendance policy many times throughout the year via staff meetings and weekly bulletins."

Policy Guidance:

• LA Unified’s goal is for every employee to be at work 100% of the time.

Strategies: 

• Communicate that illness pay is a benefit reserved for illness, and not an entitlement.
• Share various attendance incentives, substitute teacher salary savings, counting unused absence days to retirement service credit, and other benefits related to improved staff attendance.
