Attendance Policies

nannerh

I am in the process of drafting an attendance policy and am looking for examples. How many unpaid days off are allowed before disciplinary action is taken? What kind of disciplinary action is taken(number of warnings before termination)? How has your plan worked for you? How often have you had to use the plan?

When it gets to a point where myself, the supervisor, and our president all agree that it is too much, we will typically give them a final warning that they can take two days off without pay in the next few months and anything beyond that, they're done. If they're sick, they should report to work and ask to be sent home. We have used it a couple of times, and I think it has worked because these people typically should have been term'ed long ago, the previous administration didn't have the cajones and kept them on. It's usually a case of the employee firing themselves when it happens - they just self-destruct.

PS - Welcome to the forum!

Sorry for the late post. I have been gone for a while on training.

We do have an attendence policy we wrote for our Call Center that is actually pretty good. If you are still in need of the information I could email it to you.

I can email it if I have an email. It does cover ocurrences and discliplinary actions after a specified number of ocurrences happen.

I, too, would appreciate a copy of your attendance policy. Ours is in need of a major overhaul. Thanks for sharing. [email]kanbyb@lpsb.com[/email]

Shirley,

If possible, I would appreciate it if you would also send a copy of your attendance policy to me at [email]lisa.wolf@iwireless.com[/email]. We have been discussing updating our policy, too!

Thanks so much!

It appears that our office is not the only one with attendance issues. For some reason I find that a little comforting. We are currently in the process of updating our employee handbook. We have a policy in place, but I would love to see a copy of any others that have worked well. The disciplinary action portion is where we seem to fall short.
I am fairly new to the Forum, but have been reading postings for a few weeks. Thank you to all who are willing to share experience and advise. I have learned a great deal from you already!
