Attendance Code of Conduct
I. Introduction
At [Your Company Name], we value punctuality, responsibility, and professionalism. The Attendance Code of Conduct outlines the expectations for employee attendance and participation, ensuring a seamless work environment for all. This policy is applicable to all employees, regardless of their position or duration with the company. By adhering to the guidelines presented here, we aim to maintain an efficient, respectful, and productive workplace.
II. General Attendance Expectations
Employees are expected to:
Report to work on time as per their designated schedule.
Notify their immediate supervisor in case of anticipated lateness or absence.
Attend all scheduled work hours, including meetings, training sessions, and other necessary events.
Be present and engaged during their shifts unless otherwise authorized.
III. Reporting Absences or Lateness
Employees are responsible for notifying their supervisor or manager of any absence or lateness. All notifications should include the following:
Details to Include | Description |
|---|
Employee Name | Full name of the employee reporting absence |
Date of Absence | Specific date(s) when the absence will occur |
Reason for Absence | A brief explanation of the absence |
Expected Return Date | When the employee expects to return to work |
Supervisor's Name | The name of the supervisor being notified |
Absences should be communicated as early as possible, ideally before the start of the shift.
IV. Types of Absences
Sick Leave: For illness or injury, employees must provide a valid reason and, if requested, medical documentation.
Vacation Leave: Pre-approved leave for personal vacation or holidays. A notice period of at least 14 days is required.
Personal Leave: Time off for personal reasons that are not covered under other categories. Must be approved by the supervisor.
Emergency Leave: For unforeseen personal emergencies, immediate notification is required.
V. Unacceptable Attendance Behavior
Certain behaviors are considered unacceptable and may result in disciplinary actions:
Frequent Unexplained Absences: Employees are expected to provide reasonable explanations for any absences. Repeated absences without a valid reason will not be tolerated.
Chronic Lateness: Regular tardiness without prior notice or valid reason disrupts the workflow and will be addressed accordingly.
Failure to Communicate: Not informing the supervisor about an absence or lateness in a timely manner is considered a violation of the attendance policy.
Pattern of Absences: If absences occur frequently on particular days (e.g., Mondays, Fridays, or the day before/after holidays), this may be scrutinized for patterns that affect work performance.
VI. Attendance Tracking and Monitoring
All attendance records will be maintained by the Human Resources (HR) department. The system used will track:
Arrival and Departure Times: Employees' check-in and check-out times will be logged daily.
Absence Records: Each absence, including its reason, will be documented and reviewed periodically.
Tardiness Incidents: Instances of tardiness will be noted and addressed to ensure proper action is taken.
These records will be reviewed during performance evaluations or when an attendance-related issue arises.
VII. Disciplinary Actions for Attendance Violations
If an employee violates the attendance policy, the following steps may be taken:
First Offense: A verbal warning, with an explanation of the attendance policy and the potential consequences of further violations.
Second Offense: A written warning detailing the specific violation and steps for improvement. A meeting with the supervisor may also be required.
Third Offense: Further disciplinary action, including possible suspension or termination, depending on the severity of the violation.
VIII. Special Considerations
Family Emergencies: In the case of a family emergency, employees should notify their supervisor as soon as possible. We understand that emergencies can occur unexpectedly, and we will make accommodations based on the situation.
