I've got a couple guys that are habitually late. I bust their balls about it and there good for a little while but slowly drift back toward being late. I don't mind a few minutes here or there but when it starts to get to 15, 20, or 30+ minutes late it tends to get annoying. Especially annoying when they leave exactly at quitting time, so I know they can tell time.
Our E2 shop ERP system tracks attendance and I did a report today, 1 year to date. One guy had a 99% on-time rate, another was 83%, another was 38%, and the worst guy was 25% on-time with 169 days late.
So I came up with this tardiness policy. What do you guys think? I'm trying not to be a dick but this has to stop and the first step is a company policy.
"All employees are expected to be at work at the beginning of each and every workday. In general, road construction, traffic congestion, personal issues, and normal weather conditions are not acceptable reasons for tardiness.
The time keeping portion of the E2 system will be used to determine tardiness. The designated start time is 8:00AM and Employees will be considered tardy if they clock in after 8:05AM.
In the event of a public emergency, weather or otherwise, the supervisor will have the discretion to excuse employee tardiness at-large and not on an individual basis.
Effective Febuary 5th 2013, xxx company will address employee tardiness with the progressive discipline schedule as follows:
Two (2) days tardy in a quarter, Verbal Warning.
Four (4) days tardy in a quarter, Written Warning.
Six (6) days tardy in a quarter, Three (3) day suspension without pay.
Eight (8) days tardy in a quarter, Five (5) day suspension without pay.
Ten (10) days tardy in a quarter, Termination.
Quarters are defined as follows:
1st quarter, Jan 1st - March 31st
2nd quarter, April 1st - June 30th
3rd quarter, July 1st – September 30th
4th quarter, October 1st – December 31st
Make-up time will be offered to employees for late arrivals at the discretion of the supervisor. Employees must perform make-up time in the same work week as the tardy occurred. If the Employee performs the make-up time the tardy will not be counted against the Employee. Employees are required to schedule the make-up time with the supervisor. If the Employee fails to schedule and preform make-up time the tardy will be counted against the Employee."
