Attendance
policies
set
rules
and
guidelines
surrounding
employee
adherence
to
work
schedules.

policies
define
how
employees
may
schedule
time
off
or
notify
superiors
of
an
absence
or
late
arrival.

policy
also
sets
forth
the
consequences
for
failing
to
adhere
to
a
schedule.
For
example,
employers
may
allow
only
a
certain
number
of
absences
within
a
specified
time
frame.
The
attendance
policy
discusses
the
disciplinary
action
employees
face
if
they
miss
more
days
than
the
company
allows.
