What is the name of your state?OH
I just have to say I love this forum, I feel like I cant get some straight credible answers here.
Our attendance poilcy has a questionable clause writte into it, I would like to know if this is legal.
Basically, You start out with 5 "credits" when you work your way down to 2 credits, you are on a finaly warning, when you acheive 0 credits you get a nice box and an escort out of the building. Its not clear if you are required to return the box or if it's a parting gift(getting walked out at this place is a joke because it happens everyday).
Anyhow,
This is how you lose credits:
1-10 minutes late - .5 credits deducted.
over 10 minutes late - full credit deducted
unscheduled absent(including no call no show) - full credit deducted
caveat: if in any of situations you have a note from your doctor, you lose 0 credits
***forgot to add that you get .5 back for each month you have not attendence incidents ***
Questionable clause:
If you are absent for than 5 days in a rolling 6 month period you are put on final warning for "excessive absenteeism", if you hit 6 in 6 month rolling period, you are swiftly escorted out.
I call this into question because I too was recently indicted on excessive absenteeism for which ever absence had accompnied with it a genuine doctors note. I had terrible acid refulx , an appendex removed and a false heart attack sacare (acid reflux). 2 of the 5 days I was in a hospital bed and the other 3 were due to up all night with fun that i will spare you the details of.
I was acquitted to all charges when our Phd HR overloard found out that I was admitted into the cradio center for 2 days. taking me back down to 3.
Say I wasnt in the hospital those 2 days but had family doctor notes instead. Is it legal for them to fire me, or would I automatically be protected by FMLA?
