They're complaints by the public about police treatment of them, so have nothing to do with "showing up late to work".
They are also only records where the complaint has been substantiated by the [tilted towards police] Civilian Complaint Review Board, so only the most egregious and well-documented complaints are present. If you got the crap beat out of you, but no one else saw it and the officer says you fell down the stairs 8 or 10 times, that's not a substantiated complaint. If there's video footage of your beating but the NYPD declines to turn the footage over to the CCRB, then that's not a substantiated complaint.
