Call In Procedures

dgoodhall · January 2012

Hello,

I am writing policies for our 66 employee business in California. I have a question on whether or not it is discrimination if I write a policy that allows one department to call in sick 2 hours before their shift but requires another department to call in 4 hours or it is an unexcused absence. The reason for the difference is our non essential admin staff that work 8-5 and our monitoring center personnel that work 24/7 schedules that MUST be replaced if one calls in sick.

Generally, so long as there is a legitimate, nondiscriminatory and business-related reason for a policy, the fact that it treats employees differently will NOT be considered discrimination. As always, document, document, document the reasons for different treatment of different types of employees!
