Employee absence

Nice thought you share it good keep it up.

Chris Butler

As with any employee supervision, it is recommended that employee behavior/performance patterns be observed. If an employee displays a pattern of lateness, a supervisor may begin a conversation with the employee by stating the observed change in pattern of his/her punctuality. Then state how the pattern violates the policy or has impacted performance and, of course, tell the employee that being on time is important...for the work she/he performs. I have found that bringing the troublesome issue up as a change in pattern may allow the employee to reveal a difficulty at home, with transportation or a temporary situation that is difficult for them to control. There are a variety of factors affecting every behavior. Your employee may welcome the chance to discuss a situation they are struggling with but were hesitant to share with you.
