Frequently Asked Questions

What is an attendance policy?

An attendance policy is an HR document that defines expectations around employee attendance - including working hours, paid and unpaid leave, tardiness, no-call/no-shows and the disciplinary process for repeated violations. It's a core part of the employee handbook.

What should an attendance policy include?

A good attendance policy covers standard working hours, definitions of absence and tardiness, procedures for requesting time off, leave types (sick, personal, vacation, bereavement), no-call/no-show rules, attendance tracking methods and a clear disciplinary process for violations.

How do you write an attendance policy?

Start with the company's working hours and shift patterns. Define what counts as an absence, tardiness or early departure. Document leave entitlements and how to request them. Outline a fair disciplinary process. Have HR or legal review the draft to ensure it's compliant with local employment laws.

What is a no-call/no-show policy?

A no-call/no-show policy defines what happens when an employee fails to show up for work without notifying their manager. Most policies treat consecutive no-call/no-shows (typically 3 days) as voluntary resignation, but the exact rules vary by company and jurisdiction.

Are attendance policies legally required?

While not always legally required, having a written attendance policy is strongly recommended. It protects the company in disputes, ensures consistent treatment of employees and helps comply with leave-related laws. Always have a lawyer review any HR policy before rolling it out.
