The No‐fault attendance policy in the era of the family and medical leave act

Abstract

Concentrates on the “no‐fault” attendance policy and defines it as: employees to manage their absences; employers not to require reasons for absence in any form; and, based on either days or a related point system, employees to be terminated for work absence. Stresses workers sign up to this policy on entering employment. Gives examples of firms who have lost causes in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act, and shows how, in a six‐point list, employers may avoid said violations.
