COMMITMENT TO MAINTAIN GOOD ATTENDANCE I come to work on time whenever scheduled. I make good attendance my highest priority, knowing that this is my way of making a living. I know when I am expected to work. I make daily use of an alarm clock. I get enough sleep. I know exactly how I will get to work and arrange an alternative plan in case my ride falls through. If I am sick, I call my supervisor personally to explain why I cannot be at work. I take pride in excellent attendance.
