FedEx, Walmart Are Being Investigated for Punishing Workers That Take Time Off
- nickff 6y agoI may be in the minority here, but no-fault attendance scores seem preferable to having companies investigate whether employees were 'actually sick' or had other 'legitimate' reasons for absence. It also seems like companies with time-sensitive and seasonal businesses need to have some way of penalizing employees who frequently take leave during critical times (just before major holidays).
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoDidn't take the time to read the article, but ~1 year ago Walmart added a system where all employees would earn a few days/year of time off that did not count against an attendance score, and could not be denied by management. You can still request time off and get it approved/denied, and you can still take time off without permission and accept the hit to your attendance, but there is this other way as well.
