Employee Tardiness and Absenteeism Policy Statement

Employers, prepare an Employee Tardiness and Absenteeism Policy Statement for your company with this ready-made template.

This Employee Tardiness and Absenteeism Policy Statement provides clear guidelines for managing excessive and unscheduled absences by staff. The following sections outline the policy’s main components and procedures.

Excused and Unexcused Tardiness or Absence

The company distinguishes between excused and unexcused instances of tardiness or absence. Excused absences may include those due to illness, inclement weather or other factors, provided proper notification procedures are followed. Unexcused absences are those that do not meet these criteria or lack appropriate communication.

Notification Method for Supervisors

Employees are required to notify their supervisors promptly in the event of any absence or lateness. The specific notification process should be followed by all staff, ensuring supervisors are informed in a timely manner.

Absence Due to Illness or Inclement Weather

Absences resulting from illness or adverse weather conditions must be communicated to supervisors according to company policy. A doctor’s note may be requested for absences due to illness.

Recording Lateness and Absence

Each occurrence of lateness or absence will be recorded by the company. Supervisors are responsible for maintaining accurate records and ensuring that all instances are documented in accordance with established procedures.

Guidelines for Supervisors

Supervisors are expected to monitor employee attendance, maintain records, and address any issues relating to tardiness or absenteeism. They should follow the company’s procedures when handling these matters and apply the policy consistently.

Disciplinary Action

Repeated or excessive tardiness or absenteeism may result in disciplinary action. The company will follow its established disciplinary process, which may include verbal warnings, written warnings, or further consequences depending on the severity and frequency of the occurrences.

Redeeming Past Occurrences

The policy provides a method for employees to redeem past occurrences of lateness or absence. Employees may be given opportunities to demonstrate improved attendance, which can positively impact their record as outlined by company guidelines.
