Attendance and Punctuality Policy
Reliable attendance helps us serve customers and support each other. This policy explains what we expect and how to tell us when you cannot be at work on time.
Reporting an absence or lateness
- Contact [Manager Name or Title] by [phone / text / app] at least [Number] hour(s) before your shift starts, or as soon as you can in an emergency.
- Say when you expect to return.
- A message to a co-worker is not enough.
No-call/no-show
Missing a scheduled shift without telling your manager is a serious matter. [Number] consecutive no-call/no-shows may be treated as a voluntary resignation, unless there was an emergency that prevented you from contacting us.
Repeated attendance problems
Repeated unexcused absences or lateness may lead to discipline, usually starting with a conversation and a verbal warning, then a written warning, and up to and including termination.
Protected absences
The following are never counted against you under this policy: leave protected by the Family and Medical Leave Act, paid sick leave under state or local law, military leave, jury duty, leave approved as a reasonable accommodation, and any other leave protected by law.
This policy is not a contract of employment and does not change the at-will nature of employment with [Company Name]. [Company Name] may change this policy at any time, and will apply it in line with federal, state and local law.
I have received and read this policy, and I understand it.
