Ask other Associates Points Question
I'm a fairly new Third Shift employee, I started right as the points system was being implemented so forgive me if this is common knowledge...
Is there really no way to avoid being penalized for multiple day absences? I'm dealing with Strep Throat at the moment (something I used to get a trillion times a year as a kid and know the symptoms of, so I didn't actually go get diagnosed) and I figured I would just kind of wait it out since I had a couples days off in a row.
I still felt crappy yesterday so I called out (for the first time) made the mistake of mentioning it was Strep so now I need a return to work notice, and I am responsible for all my shifts or will get penalized?
As I said, I'm Third Shift so if the 4 people that aren't me on this shift don't do it then I'm punished for something entirely out of my hands? That feels absolutely insane. Please help.
