NEBH's Employee Dependability Policy
The ability of New England Baptist Hospital (NEBH) to provide outstanding patient care and legendary service is dependent on employees reporting to work on time and as scheduled. While compelling reasons sometimes necessitate absence or tardiness from work, excessive unscheduled absence and/or tardiness is detrimental to NEBH's operations, places unfair burden on co-workers and will not be tolerated. Departments may create and require that their employees follow policies that are more specific and more restrictive than the general policies outlined below, as long as such policies have been reviewed and approved by Human Resources.
- The term "absences" in this policy does not include any absences that are legally protected (for example, FMLA, SNLA, MMLA or reasonable accommodation leaves) or otherwise consistent with other NEBH policies such as bereavement leave.
- Tardiness: Punctuality is essential to the successful operation of NEBH. Tardiness disrupts schedules, adds overtime costs, and places additional responsibilities on the employees in the department. Employees are expected in their work area ready to work at the designated start time. If a late arrival is unavoidable, the employee’s supervisor must be notified as soon as possible. Excessive tardiness and/or staying away from work without proper notification will result in corrective action up to and including termination of employment.
- Attendance: Regular attendance is essential to the successful operation of NEBH. This policy defines attendance expectations as no more than five incidences of unplanned absences and/or tardiness in a twelve-month period (for example, three absences could equal one incident). Excessive absenteeism and/or staying away from work without proper notification will result in corrective action up to and including termination of employment.
I give New England Baptist Hospital and its agents permission to investigate my references and background to ascertain any and all information of concern to this application, whether the same is of record or not, and I hereby release New England Baptist Hospital from any and all liability, damages, or responsibility from investigating and/or receiving the requested information.

It is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment. An employer who violates this law shall be subject to criminal penalties and civil liability.
