McLaren Bay Registered Nurse Policy

McLaren Bay has implemented a strict three-strike attendance policy to support the needs of our patient population and ensure appropriate staffing coverage. Any RN contractor who is absent from a scheduled shift, arrives more than 20 minutes late for their scheduled shift, or fails to fulfill their scheduled shift in its entirety without prior approval will receive an attendance strike. This includes leaving a scheduled shift early without prior authorization.

Any RN contractor who accumulates three attendance strikes will be terminated from their assignment, effective immediately.
