FBC Bardstown Employee Handbook

HOURLY AND COMMISSION EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE POLICY Absenteeism and tardiness cause hardship for fellow team members and the business. Employees who are excessively absent and tardy reduce the morale of those employees who are in attendance and therefore must do extra work to make up for absences/tardiness. The company has to incur additional costs with replacing employees who are out or who are tardy. All of us must work together to keep absenteeism and tardiness to a minimum. This attendance policy covers all regular full-time and part-time employees. This is a NO FAULT policy, which means that except as stated below, the reason for the absence does not matter and each employee is responsible for monitoring his or her own attendance habits, regardless of the reason for a given absence. This policy allows employees to miss reasonable amounts of work without negative consequences; however, if an employee’s absenteeism or tardiness becomes excessive for any reason, then he or she will receive progressive discipline up to and including termination. *Personnel Outsource Solutions reserves the absolute right to take whatever disciplinary actions that it deems appropriate, and does not guarantee that progressive discipline will be used in any or all circumstances. This policy will run on a rolling twelve-month basis. A rolling twelve-month basis is measured backward from the date of the employee’s attendance violation. Any one (1) or more consecutive days absent from work constitutes an occurrence. The company reserves the right, consistent with applicable law, to require written documentation to explain absences. However, the absence will still constitute an occurrence even with documentation, subject to the exceptions listed within this policy. If documentation is requested but not provided, the company may designate each absence, whether consecutive or not, as a separate occurrence. If an employee will be absent, the employee is expected to notify the on-duty supervisor at least two hours prior to the employee’s scheduled start time. An employee’s failure to contact the on-duty supervisor at least two hours prior to the start of the employee’s scheduled shift to inform the supervisor of the absence will constitute a NO CALL/NO SHOW. ** Employee must CALL their immediate supervisor; text messages will NOT be accepted as proper notification of absence. ** An employee will receive three (3) occurrences for a no call/no show (including failure to report an absence to their supervisor at least two hours prior to the employee’s scheduled start time.
