Unfortunately I work at a place that has employed a point system. Call off? Point. Leave a minute early? Point. Etc, was informed yesterday that I have managed to bag 6 1/2 points, Termination at 10. The reason for my points? I've been sick, calling off like they ask as to not get others sick.
I work in a food factory, so I figured I'd be safe and not come in. Today as I was walking out I noticed that HR was in early and wanted to ask a few questions. Mostly as to how can I call in and not accrue more points.
Was told to simply come to work sick, As long as it's not a fever she could care less what I have. Vomiting and diarrhea? Wash your hands before you leave the bathroom and as you go out onto the floor.
What about getting approved early departures? Well I work in a small department so there is no approved early departures. Doesn't matter how sick I am I have to stick it out ot pretty much risk termination. Oh, Yeah doctor's notes don't matter. You still get points.
Mostly a rant, kinda wondering if this doesn't break some sort of health code violation. I live in New York if that makes a difference.
