Do you guys have them? What's your attendance policy. Do you get paid personal days?

In my shop you start with 10 points and you loose a point for every day you miss and a 1/2 point for every late or leave early and miss up to 5 hours. After 1 year from that day you get your point back. You start with 1 week payed vac and can earn 10 hours payed every quarter for perfect attendance. 1/2 of our new hires point out within 8 months. Not a skilled job.

I worked in meatpacking union in 76
A fella the company wanted gone was fired for coming back from break 30 seconds late
He had 2 blue slips and 2 reds. 3 reds is a blue. 3 blues and you're gone
He was fun to work with.

When I was in the corporate world we had a no fault occurrence system. 3 in a month and you were done. The system reset every 30 days.

Worked in a factory for 45 years.start out with 2 weeks vacation after 1 year of service. No sick days or personal days given out.think it was 1 point for every day missed and total of 7 before you got fired.if you missed 4 days or more in a row you needed a Dr's slip to return to work.

Big delivery company; new hires have 20 points then restart with 40 points after 90 days, earn 40 hrs of sick time the first year, if sick and can cover the time with pay, then no points, if some pay available but not enough to cover 2 points, if no sick time left 4 points. Have had many people point out. Also start with 36 hrs personal time after 90 days and start earning vacation time immediately upon hire, can earn 1 week the first year 2 weeks the second.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

When I owned my own business I had a jerk for a boss. He made me work every day.

Never heard of such. At 25yrs I get 5 weeks of vacation. 4 optional Holidays, 4 personal days, and 1 unpaid free day.
Sick time is done by “instances” if your out sick you might as well stay out all 7 days allowed. Anything after 7 days and short term disability kicks in and I get 52 weeks of that per calendar year. I can have up to 3 instances before anything is said. And all that is paid as well.
To be honest, I’ve never seen anyone abuse the system so far. Not saying it doesn’t happen, just not in my group. Our Boss is fairly chill. We have a hurricane coming through tonight and I’ll be available tomorrow, but it’ll probably be hanging around here. We’ll get paid for it too.

My boss (me) lets me off to hunt, trap and fish all the time. In fact, he encourages it. Never gives me points. It's the dang customers that get upset if I don't show up. grin


Eh...wot?

Never heard of such a thing.I was self employed for many years so never had to deal with that. I had a union job once and working for them was a big pain in the butt.They would have pulled this crap if they had a chance.They tried all kinds of stupid stuff cause they thought employes would and did put up with it.One day I said here's your job, you can keep it and never returned.One of the smartest things I ever did in my life.

Never heard of a points system. We get 4 personal days a year, plus whatever sick time and vacation time you accumulate. And 7 paid holidays.

My old job you got x amount of PTO per 8 hrs worked. X varied according years of service. Could use it whenever you wanted. There was a max accumulation so some guys had to take off every so often because they worked OT so much or theyd lose hours. Annoyed me a bit mainly because they didnt do their normal work during normal hours. I think I was getting just over a day of PTO every pay period.

Last place I worked at had a 7 points and you were gone policy. Unless you were female and could cry on demand. Then it was you can work here until some complains to the way high ups.

We also had such a high case of people calling off the instituted a thing that if you were full time and worked a full 2 week pay period without calling off or leaving early you got and extra $100 in your check. If part time it was $50.

We had one girl that could cry very easily and had 132 points before the higher ups caught on and fired her.

I went 38 pay periods without a call out or leaving early.

We had people come in and work 3 days and call off. Didn't take long to figure out they were coming in and working enough to get enough money for their next fix and then taking a day or 2 off.

One perk was the health insurance was great and cheap. My family plan was cheaper than my wife's single person plan, nd she worked at a hospital.

Production gets 14 points and a point lasts for 12 months from when you get it. No call no show = 1 point. Call in before your shift = 1/2 a point. Once you have 14 points you get three strikes. At 13.5 points the strikes go back to zero. Its a dumb system and nobody ever came to work between that and their FMLA it was always a game to some working the system but its important to know not everyone did. Heck they had a 800 number to call into and leave a message and thats all you had to do to get the 1/2 point.

Oh and 13 paid holidays and two weeks vacation. lol.
