My work has that same policy! If you call in 3 times in 3 months its considered excessive. And to top it all off, the flu. If you have the flu you cannot come to work for 7 days, yet you get in trouble and it counts as 1 call in. Its stupid bc we have gone to this bc of other people who abuse calling in. What about the people that have children?? I understand why we have this policy but your going to go to work sick just so you wont get in trouble. Also if you work 10 hrs of your 12 hr shift and have n/v/d and you get sent home, that counts against you too. Its CRAZY!!
