CDI LATENESS POLICY

Apprentices should communicate any lateness to their facilitator. Failure to communicate or consistent lateness will result in deductions from their stipend or receiving no stipend. Below is the lateness policy for CDI Training.

Attendance Policy:

1. You have 1 emergency day throughout the program.
2. For every three times you are late or have to leave early (either to start or from break) it will be marked as 1/2 day absence.
3. If you arrive more than 30 minutes late or leave 30 minutes early from a session, that will automatically count as a 1/2 day absence.
4. Two, 1/2 day absences count as 1 emergency day.
5. If you exceed the 1 allotted emergency day, you can continue in the CWNY program at the facilitator’s discretion, but will NOT earn a stipend.
6. Your attendance will be tracked and shared by your facilitator.
