Overview

When employees don’t play fair with your organization’s absentee policy and take an unplanned or excessive time off, it causes problems - and you need solutions! This webinar will teach you how to create or update your attendance policy which complies with legal standards and which can be flexible enough to meet the demands of different departments or positions. The program will also address federal and state laws that may be implicated in dealing with attendance issues such as the FMLA and ADA

Why you should Attend

Chronic absenteeism can hurt productivity and profits, while also taking a severe toll on employee morale.

You’ll discover how to not only recognize, but deal with patterns of attendance abuse. The typical reasons behind unnecessary time off, why it deserves your attention and what you can do to prevent it. And you’ll find out what disciplinary steps you can take even in the most sensitive situations and strategies for addressing the most common employee absenteeism problems.
