Attendance Policy
Rules governing employee presence and absence at work.
Definition
An attendance policy outlines expectations for employee presence, procedures for reporting absences, consequences for excessive absenteeism, and how different types of leave are treated. Policies must be carefully drafted to avoid conflicts with FMLA, ADA, and state sick leave laws.
