Currently, I’m working on developing a best practices model for the no-fault attendance policy.  Rather than edit an already confusing policy, I’d like to start from scratch.  As you know, no-fault policies would mean that employees who are out for any non-FMLA or pre-approved absences count against them in the attendance policy.  This policy is for a large organization, so scrapping the attendance policy all together would not be an option.

I’d like to build in 2 “free” days into the policy, so if you have any suggestions to that effect, I’d love to hear them!  I’d also like the language to be clear so folks are not getting confused over terms like incidents, occurrences, or what constitutes a “half” an absence.  Feel free to explain your organization’s best practice in the comment section!  If you’d rather email your policy, feel free to send it to me at: mona@froth.com
