We have a serious attendance problem with people 30 and under. They have been trained (somewhere) that it is OK to just work when you want. They truly do not understand why they are in trouble when they take two or three work days off in their first month of employment. LOL I frequently say "from the age of 17 to 22 if I didn't show up for work I would end in the brig or painting rocks for a few weekends"

"Sort of like..." Not even close! Don't get me started on those *&##%$* teachers! Seventeen days, that's nothing! Teachers in Ontario used to get 20 paid sick days per year. Unused days would automatically roll over to the next year. They averaged 9 days off so the average teacher banked 11 days per year. When they retired/left they could cash in up to 200 of those days. Anything over that was given as time off with pay. In 2012 the government rolled it back to 11 days with pay and no roll over. Guess what? Teachers now average 11.5 sick/mental health days off per year. Not to mention all the extra prep time and personal development days they get now. Also they get 190 days at 90% of their full pay. Their pension is over 70% of their highest grossing five years, or it was last I heard. |

But, I think part of it is a maturity and responsibility problem on the part of workers. Like someone said (maybe @Tcoat), nobody should be taking multiple days off in the first X months of working somewhere (unless there's a legitimately valid reason to). And mental days off, again, shouldn't just be random days you take off because you don't feel like working. They should only be part of the amount of time you already get off, if you have that time available. But also, those workers trying to take that time off should also try to make sure that they aren't doing it during a high-pressure time where it would adversely affect coworkers and the actual work itself.

The impact of line workers not showing up is far more than anybody would realize. We either have to pay somebody to stay and cover them at time and a half or not make the product. Since we do not have a surplus of people on each shift even one short (out of 80) can be a problem. We average 3 missing per shift!

If he had the days to take, not much I could do about it at least where I work. If you call out for a day, and you have available PTO, you can use it. No explanation necessary. In fact, I'd rather not have one. The women that work for me have a history of oversharing when it comes to PTO days. If you don't have PTO available then it is an issue because you know you don't have PTO. I need to know why and I need proof if it is chronic (and I mean more than once a year). Where I work now, they combine it all together (Vacation/Holiday/Sick) so you as an individual have to manage it. It's very generous (you start with 5 weeks and can go up to 7 weeks) with one year of accrual rollover so it's not exactly difficult. We also have extended leave for documented illnesses over 5 business days so you don't eat up all your vacation with one two week bout of the flu. (I work for a hospital system so you don't come to work sick).

If you can do end user device support (workstations, printers, scanners, etc) and are willing to live near Atlanta, IM me. I have two openings.

No you got it right. I am talking 17 unexcused unscheduled days. Sometimes they will request we apply PTO to that day. Who is actually sick that much ? I work more unpaid overtime then that a year. And I guarantee I have worked far more hungover then they have been sick and stayed home.

If you have to write up 13 employees every year for attendance... why are they still working there? Are there no consequences to being written up? Like dadhawk said, sounds like a management issue.
Being young and entitled is only a problem if they are allowed to get away the behavior. |
