Regular attendance and punctuality by employees are essential in maintaining high levels of professionalism, productivity, and allows everyone to perform at their best, ensuring the achievement of company and departmental goals. However, we recognize that employees occasionally become ill, need time off from work, or are unavoidably late. The purpose of this policy is to ensure employees provide notice of such absences (refer to company time and attendance policy regarding the proper process for providing notice).
An unauthorized absence occurs when the employee does not follow the Time and Attendance Policy regarding notification of absence. The employee has not properly notified that he or she will be late or absent in accordance with the Company Time and Attendance Policy. Points will be assessed for un- authorized absences, tardiness, or late arrivals as described below.
Absent – missing one or more consecutive scheduled workdays for a single reason or arriving more than two hours after the scheduled starting time.
Tardy – arriving 3 to 14 minutes after the scheduled shift start time
Late – arriving between 15 minutes and two hours after the scheduled shift start time
Points will accumulate and remain in effect for 12 months after they are issued. For example, if you are issued 1 point on Dec 30th, 2022, then on Dec 30th, 2023 that 1 point will expire and no longer be included in your cumulative totals. Other points will remain active until they expire and continue to be subject to disciplinary actions as outlined in this document. If an employee works at multiple locations, points will accrue in combination, regardless of which location the points initially accrued.
Employees will be subject to disciplinary action when the total points accumulated from unauthorized absences and tardiness reach the following totals:

Employees who are absent for three consecutive days without notification being sent in accordance with the Company Time and Attendance Policy, will be presumed to have abandoned/resigned their position and will be separated from employment effective on the third day of absence.
Employees receiving corrective action under this policy are expected to improve their attendance and punctuality. Failure to improve and sustain improvement will result in the employee's suspension and ultimate termination. All disciplinary actions are subject to the full discretion of the Company.
