Regular and punctual attendance is an important requirement of every job in the County of Riverside. If it is necessary for you to be absent from work for any reason, you should notify your department as soon as possible. Be sure you know and follow your department's policies and procedures for notification of absences. If your department does not have a more strict policy, you must notify your department within one hour after the start of your shift when calling in sick. An unreported absence may be grounds for disciplinary action.
Depending on the workload in your department, you may be asked to work beyond your normal shift. Although an attempt will be made to give you advance notice when it is feasible to do so, this is not always possible. The County reserves the right to require overtime as needed. You must have your supervisor’s approval before any overtime may be worked. For information on how overtime is paid, please see the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for your representation unit.
