Sample Tardiness Policy

The nature of the organization's work requires that you attend regularly and report for duty as scheduled. Reporting promptly for duty means that you arrive at the facility with sufficient time to be at your assigned post of work at the scheduled hour. By the same token, you are not to leave your assigned area except for approved reasons until your scheduled employment day is completed.

Failure of your compliance with these requirements seriously handicaps our productivity and unnecessarily burdens your fellow employees. Repeated violations will result in verbal counseling, written counseling, and/or suspension or termination of employment. You should also notify your supervisor when you know you may be late for work. The facility keeps a record of all your absences and tardiness. Also, instances of tardiness that average three (3) times in six months is considered excessive. Excessive absenteeism or tardiness after counseling could result in termination of employment.
