Nevertheless, she decided to prepare to go to work. Shortly thereafter, before her usual time of departure at approximately $6$:$40$ a$.$m$.,$ she decided that she was too ill to work that day. She called the school at $6$:$45$ a$.$m$.$ to report that she would not be in that day. The following day Janis Sands reported to work as usual. She completed her duties that day and for the remainder of the week. The week after her return to work she had a conference with Mr$.$ Woods, the School Superintendent. He informed her that she would not be paid for that Monday because she had not called in to report $60$ minutes before her starting time. He acknowledged that the District was able to get a substitute security guard for Ms$.$ Sands$$ post in a timely manner.
