we've been in biz for about three years, and have had three pretty good years. however, on the average, our employees have been terrible. by terrible i mean calling in sick a couple of times a month, just not showing up, showing up late regularly, etc. of course, this is only the fault of my partner and i becuase we have not made job expectations EXPLICITLY CLEAR. which is where my question comes in.
how do you guys manage tardiness, absences, etc for employees? i would like to be able to say to new employees that they get two tardies, then a warning, then a termination. similirly, any unexcused absence results in a warning, then termination.
i really don't know what the parameters will be, but i'd like to get an idea of your expectations of your employees and how you deal with it when the expectation is not met.
thanks.
