Attendance & Call-Offs

Reliability is how you earn long-term assignments, get hired on, and stay eligible for future placements.

7First 30 Days: Attendance

  • No call offs during the first 30 days of an assignment.
  • Your first week is especially important for earning a long term assignment.
  • Perfect attendance and reliability affect your success on the assignment, your potential to be hired by the client, and your eligibility for future placements.

8Call Off Procedure

  • No call offs during the first 30 days of an assignment (see Section 7).
  • After 30 days, if you cannot report to work, call Express at (314) 692-0600 at least 2 hours before your shift.
