The industry I work in we use a point system. You are allotted 10 points, every time you call in you get 1/2 a point, 1 full point for calling in on major events, 2 points for no call no show. Major events dates are posted a year in advance. You do not have to give them an excuse as to why you are calling in, you just have to call in 4 hours before shift and tell them you’re not coming in. It’s none of their business why you call in. You lose 1 point every 3 months without a call in. If you call in sick they use your PTO hours, and if you have a circumstance that needs you to be gone for a while, like a death in the family, you can just take a absence of leave with out penalties. I personally like this system as it’s afforded me to take personal days to enjoy life with out the fear of losing my job. This is a large corporation in the USA btw, service industry. Most of my coworkers have been there longer than I’ve been alive.
Opinions on this system? Should this system be more wide spread in the USA? I only type this because I see a ton of post on this sub of people losing their jobs for simple things like calling in, and that’s not right.
