Examples:
Disciplinary Approach: Employees get oral and written warnings, suspensions, and
even up to dismissal for absenteeism violations
Combination Approach: Employees are rewarded for positive behavior and are
punished for bad behavior
“No fault” policy: Employees must manage their own attendance unless they abuse that
freedom. Once abused, then disciplinary action may be taken. Employers don’t judge
whether the absences were excused or unexcused.
Paid-time-off (PTO) programs: Employees can use vacation, holiday, and sick leave,
which is accrued in an account, at their discretion. Once an employee runs out of PTO
then they are not paid for any additional days off.
