PARTIAL PREVIEW

"OPENING NOTE: Throughout this eBook when reference is made to absenteeism it is also meant to include tardiness. Both are attributable to similar causes and therefore, as will be clearly shown, they both can be reduced and controlled using the same solution.

"Employees need to know how the problem of absence concerns the company (inability to meet customer’s delivery dates due to interruption of workflow and production continuity, reduced morale caused by employees who have to work harder to pick up the slack, etc.).

"Basically, there are two types of absentee policies. Traditional ones distinguish between excused and unexcused absences. The newer policies, generally referred to as No-Fault policies are simpler, and state that when your absent your absent, period. Both types require progressive discipline.

"Will you have a traditional annual absence policy that allows “excused” absences, or will you have a “No Fault – An Absence is an Absence Regardless of Reason – Policy? Regardless of type of policy you use, will you excuse sickness verified by a statement from the doctor? Death in the family? How many absence days per month will you accept (in any given quarter or year) without taking disciplinary action? For those who exceed the number of tolerable days, what form will your disciplinary action take? Will there be warnings and if so when and what form? Would you require absentees to call in or send messages with others, reporting their need to be absent?"
