In my local it's a lot less formal. We're allowed 3 "occurrences" and they reset every 90 work days. If you're late, that's an occurrence. If you're sick one day, that's an occurrence, no-call no-show, occurence. You can be sick up to 3 days and have it only count as one occurrence. Over 3 occurrences in 90 days is grounds for termination. I kinda like what you guys have going better. At least you always know how much you've got.
