Lab Policies
============

This section collects the recurring expectations that govern how the Dean Lab
works day to day. These pages are intended to clarify shared norms, not to
replace case-by-case discussion when judgment is needed.

At a glance
-----------

- Be present for recurring lab meetings unless you have arranged otherwise.
- Report vacation and sick leave in MyTime on time.
