We have the 3-days no show/no call Job abandonment policy now and closely looking at implementing 2-days no show/no call policy.We have lots of turnover and no show/no calls and in the warehous industry.I know there are no applicable Federal or State laws on job abandonment. What are the advantages/disadvantages of having 2-days no show/no call Vs 3 -days no show/no call policy? Any thoughts will be appreciated.

How many people do you actually have return after they nc/ns for two days? wouldn't it be easier to term after 2 days, because who wants them back for a 3rd chance at failure?

I would suggest you call the state unemnployment office. In Iowa, they recognize 3 days of nc/ns, not 2.

the only advantage I see is that you could sart the termination and recruiting process one day sooner, but is that worth what it would take to change a policy, worry about legal compliance and possibly generate poor employee relations? Even if you believe that your best employees will think of it as fair, they could perceive it as a "take-away."

When I was a supervisor, I called my no shows the first day to find out what happened to them.

I've always worked for companies with the usual 3-day rule. However, I usually issue a Final Written Warning for the first occurance of Nc/Ns if less than 3 days. That way any future occurance will be grounds for separating the ee. With a written policy in the handbook and a Final Warning in the file you probably won't lose any UEC hearings.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
