The system tracks employee absences and tardiness through a point-based mechanism. Accumulating a predetermined number of points, derived from those absences and tardiness, can lead to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. For example, an unexcused absence might incur a higher point value than a late arrival, and different categories of absences, such as sick days versus no-call/no-shows, often carry varying point assessments.
This structured approach to attendance management aims to promote consistency, fairness, and operational efficiency within the workplace. By establishing clear expectations regarding attendance and punctuality, it supports predictable staffing levels, minimizing disruptions to workflow and service delivery. Historically, implementing such systems helps reduce unscheduled absences, leading to improved productivity and a more reliable workforce.
