Employee Manual Software
Absent Period Policy

I have provided a FREE SAMPLE BELOW on an Absent Period Policy although you must keep in mind that these are only samples and may not meet the legal requirements for your state.

I strongly recommend Standard Legal Employee Manual Software! It is written by attorney’s and in my opinion it will fit your needs perfectly. It is also priced right at just under $35.

Under $35Sample Employee Manual Policy on Absent Periods
Note: It is important to use an employee manual software that is prepared by attorney’s to compose your employee manual or handbook since it is a legal document!

You will be permitted only four excused unscheduled absent periods within a twelve month rolling calendar period. If you exceed four or more excused absent periods within a twelve month rolling calendar period (Name of Company) will initiate disciplinary action. Note: Someone that has been approved for any federal or state regulatory programs, such as the Family Medical Leave Act, will not be considered an absent period under this policy only for that approved leave.

An excused unscheduled absent period is defined by you being assigned a scheduled shift and then prior to that scheduled shift you notify someone in a supervisory role that you are not able to attend as scheduled. All scheduled shifts are prepared and posted two weeks prior to that scheduled shift. In the event you have an event more than two weeks away and desire to be excused from your scheduled shift, you must make arrangements with your supervisor. All excused absent periods that are approved more than two weeks out will not be considered part of the excused unscheduled absent periods. Examples of an excused absent period that will not be considered part of the four absent periods in a year would be scheduled vacation or scheduled medical appointments.

An unexcused absent period is any absent period that was not approved by your supervisor under the conditions of employment. Any unexcused absent period may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

Any time you have an absent period where you did not notify a supervisor prior to your scheduled shift, except for when there are extraordinary circumstances, you may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. This type of absent period is considered a “No Call – No Show”. Each and every day that an employee has a “No Call – No Show” they will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Three “No Call – No Shows” may result in immediate termination.

Failure to report to work on time and ready to begin your scheduled shift may result in disciplinary action up to and including possible termination.

In addition to a good employee manual software some other software items you should consider are; Time and Attendance Software and Work Scheduling Software. At this time I do not have a recommendation since I am still researching to find the very best product for your money.

Good Luck and May God Bless You!
