Open up a can of worms???

Kymm · October 2003

I know this is a loaded question and we could go on for days (months, years) but I would like to look into possibly changing our attendance policy and was hoping I could get some ideas from you all as to what seems to work for you?
I'm looking for something fairly basic and easy to understand for all the employees (AND managers!) We currently have "excessive" being more than averaging 2 instances in a quarter - a few years ago we had it based more on actual hours (48 - verbal, 56 written, etc. - think we terminated at 80 hours. I know there is always going to be gray areas, and "what if's", but thought I'd throw it out to you... also, if you know of any other good "resources" I'd be greatly appreciative! We are NOT union but majority of employees are hourly blue collar... Thank you!

FWIW, I've tried numerous approaches and continue returning to the no-fault type of plan with "x" number of absences defined as excessive. When employees reach that level they are de-employed.............there's a progressive approach to reach discharge. It eliminates the differentiation from car trouble to overslept. It makes the employee responsibile for simple attendance. When you exceed that magic number, your attendance is not acceptable to remain employed here. I think employees understand it and learn to deal w/it.

If you would like to send me your e-mail address I will send you a copy of ours. It is a "no-fault" point system policy that allows the employees to earn points back. It seems to work well for us.

Popeye, if possible, I would like yours also.

Would you mind sending me a copy of your no-fault policy? It is obviously genius from the requests you are receiving.

Would you mind sending to me too? I'm waist-deep in rewriting our handbook and need inspiration for the attendance portion.

During first 60 days, 3 absences= termination.
work 4 hours of sched. shift, bring back note from doctor, no occurence appliedd

10 occurences in a calendar year= termination
every January all occurences are taken away and employees all start with 0.

I have sent you an overview of another "NO FAULT" policy. This takes all of the subjectivity out of the supervisor's hands.
