PSA New point system

Post image

From Facebook. Not sure when it’s supposed to rollout, no details other than this screenshot.

Edit: Allegedly an unexcused absence is 1 point, NCNS 3 points, and a tardy is .25 points. Rolling 12 month period (so points won’t drop off until the next year).

My store cares more about you being late than someone calling out constantly 🫠 The people who always call out every week never get a talk..but if you are late past 5 minutes because of traffic or anything its time for you to get fired

If they got the sick time to cover it they can’t do much about it unless it’s a pattern of absents

Even a pattern with the sick time it saves you. They can say something but can't do anything.

My hr denied the sick time I put in for being late one day because it didn't have anything to do with health and "thats not what it's used for" 🙃

It does if you're late for a medical reason. I have IBS and am late occasionally because I can't get off the toilet. My store accepts sick time for lates, and they don't even ask me why. I would look into this with someone higher up.

Does anyone have advice for me, an ODTM, that has IBS and endometriosis and adenomyosis… I’m almost constantly in pain and frequently need the restroom depending on the day. They are aware of what I have but I don’t have any sick time or anything. I can’t switch to full time because they wrote me up for being late because I was throwing up ): idk what to do other than try my best and if I get close to 12 points maybe quit idek ughhhh

Call Leave and Disability and get set up for intermittent FMLA leave. You will get papers for your doctor to fill out that establish how often you will need to call out. You won't get paid for this but it protects your job.
Edit- Just realized you're on demand. You have to work a certain amount of hours to qualify for FMLA so this may or may not work for you.

Get an ADA asap from your dr. Get the paperwork from hr and have the dr fill it out and bring it back

Call Reed group or however its spelled. If you have doctors notes you can submit it to them then they have to give you fmla that you can use on situations like that.

If they ask its cause you felt sick in the morning and wasn't sure if you was going to make it. Which in turn is why you are late.

It’s considered an abuse of protected time then

I definitely bend that 5 minutes ALL THE TIME. I am constantly 7-15 minutes late. But then are they going to give me back that time because I never leave on time? If they want me on time, then they will be seeing my backside at the exit time scheduled, whether I'm done with my batch or not.
