No-Fault Point System: The goal of this attendance policy is to reward good attendance and eliminate people with poor attendance.

It uses a point system, and does not excuse or unexcuse absences.

* Each absence = 1 point(no multi-day occurrences) * Each late in (tardy) or early out = 1/2 point * Each no-show for work = 2 points * Each return with no prior call = 1 point * Each absence-free quarter eliminates all points and rewards the employee with a day off with pay. * Each employee starts fresh, with no points, each year. Disciplinary Action: * 7 points = verbal warning * 8 points = written warning * 9 points = 3 day suspension * 10 points = termination

Formal business attire: This type of professional dress code means that business suits are required, period. Formal business attire generally involves pantsuits, skirt suits, and a suit and tie (no sport coats). Employees must wear closed-toe shoes and, if someone is wearing a skirt suit, stockings.

Business casual dress code: This can mean different things in different workplaces, but it often includes restrictions on T-shirts, jeans, sandals, flip-flops, and shorts.

Casual dress code: This is one step down from business casual, and it’s most common in small and creative workplaces, like tech startups and creative agencies. Jeans and T-shirts are typically okay with a casual dress code policy.
