Capstone HomeCare, LLC Point System Regular punctuality is expected from employees at Capstone Homecare, LLC to ensure achieving company goals. Arriving late or being tardy leads to disruptions that negatively affect our clients and our duties. However, we acknowledge that there may be unavoidable reasons for staff to miss work or arrive late. This policy’s objective is to ensure employees understand the process of notifying their supervisors of their absence. B. Attendance And Punctuality An employee will receive points for tardiness, late arrivals, leaving early, and unauthorized absences. Note that an unauthorized absence occurs when an employee fails to inform their supervisor of their absence. The point system is explained below: Explanation: Points Early departure Leaving more than 30 minutes early ½ point ½ Tardy 5-19 minutes 1 Late 20 minutes – 2 hours 3 Absent More than 3 hours 5 Early departure: leaving more than 30 minutes before the end of the scheduled departure time. Tardiness: arriving up to 20 minutes after the start of the scheduled shift. Late: arriving between 20 minutes and two hours later than the scheduled shift. Absent: missing one or more workdays or arriving more than three hours later than the scheduled shift. C. Overview of Disciplinary Action Repeated attendance issues over 12 months will result in increasingly severe corrective action leading to and including termination. Employees will be subject to disciplinary action when their total point allocation reaches the following levels: 10 points: verbal warning. 15 points: written warning. 20 points: termination. If an employee is absent for three or more consecutive days, they must provide documentation excusing the absence, such as a doctor’s note. All employees are expected to inform their supervisor or department of their absence 5 hours prior to their shift starting.
