Absences or failure to obtain approvals for paid or unpaid time off may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. The answer is yes. When offering a Paid Personal Time Policy, a good clear attendance policy that covers the importance of scheduled and approved time off is imperative. It is recommended that employers consider Perfect Attendance Awards. This award can be used as an incentive and can discourage employees from taking too many unplanned days off.
Awards can be as basic as a small cash award or as elaborate as a night out on the town.
Incentives can encourage employees to show up for work every day.
