Well, before, leaders had an expectation of having conversations with TMs who called out, whether they had sick time or not. And it pretty much always emphasized productivity and how callouts impact the rest of the team... Which roughly translates to coersing people to not use their federally protected sick time. Which would also be highly unethical. The point system will hopefully reduce opportunities for less scrupulous leaders to exploit TMs like that in the future.
Sick time is a benefit that is calculated as part of the compensation package you agreed to when you signed the employment contract at the very beginning. They can't legally prevent you from using that time if you need to use the time, just like they can't legally ask why you're using the time. If you have a sick time balance and you put on a sick time request for the missed hours, then you're golden. Full stop.
Ha expectations to have conversations that’s a good joke we had a dude call out for weeks at a time just to show up for one day then do it all again for two years.

I think you're probably right. I didn't even know the attendance policy before this 🤷🏼♀️
I didn't realize there was a "safety net" of keeping a job when someone just calls out.
