Sample Hourly Employee Attendance Policy

New Policy: I intensely dislike attendance policies, especially for salaried jobs. I believe that a salaried job implies that people will work to complete the whole job and attain the goals with the appropriate amount of output. Hourly positions, and some salaried positions, that require the employee to be at the work site to complete the job, are another matter.

Take a look at the attendance policy that I just developed for a client. The attendance policy had hours of input from the people who have to live with it, enforce it, and caretake it. The attendance policy takes care of most of the issues the company experienced with its prior policy. It makes emergency personal time unpoliced and provides a bonus for people who don’t use the emergency personal time accrued. Take a look at my Sample Hourly Employee Attendance Policy.
