It reduces the amount of sick time taken by addressing the underlying reasons for the absences. To ensure that all employees are treated fairly and consistently with regard to the management of their attendance. To promote attendance at an appropriate level by communicating with employees about their attendance and the factors contributing to their absences. To provide appropriate advice and intervention to support employees experiencing attendance difficulties. Caritas Health Group expects employees to attend work as scheduled.
Regular attendance is the employee's responsibility and is considered part of their performance.
Supervisors or Managers will monitor the time off of all their employees. They will meet with those employees who have high rates of absences to discuss attendance expectations and help find solutions to resolve any difficulties. The attendance management process is confidential. Managers and supervisors are expected to be sensitive and flexible in administering the program and to be consistent in their approach. The program should result in healthier employees, fewer absences, and a corresponding reduction of sicktime.
