An employee's <br />primary responsibility is to serve the residents of Arden Hills. Employees should exhibit <br />conduct that is ethical, professional, responsive, and of standards becoming of a City <br />employee. To achieve this goal, employees must adhere to established policies, rules, and <br />procedures and follow the instructions of their supervisors. <br />Staff Guidelines <br />Since all employees share the responsibility for keeping their department operating in an <br />orderly, safe and efficient manner, they are entitled to know the types of conduct, which <br />will contribute to fulfilling their department's functions. At a minimum all employees are <br />required to: <br />BE ON TIME Supervisors depend on each employee for help in maintaining important <br />work schedules. Being at the job location and ready to begin work at the specified time <br />will get things off to the right start. An employee who wishes to flex their hours must <br />submit a form to their supervisor for approval. The form will indicate the regular <br />schedule of the employee as well as the requested flex hours. If approved and signed by <br />the supervisor, the form will be filed in the employee's Personnel File and is updated <br />annually. <br />BE REGULAR Excessive absenteeism or tardiness jeopardizes an employee's job and <br />creates problems for supervisors and fellow workers. An employee is required to furnish <br />satisfactory evidence that their absence is justified if their supervisor requests it. <br />12
