[QUOTE="Rarefish383, post: 4717831, member: 86785"] I kind of read through fast and didn't see an actual answer to your question. Not trying to sound like a smart :censored:, an Excused Absence is pretty much what it sounds like. Holliday, vacation, optional, if you ask for an unpaid day off and the manager says sure, we have extras, take off, are excused. Having an excuse does not make it excused. Stubbed toe is not. One of the simplest traps people with attendance problem would get caught in was, they call in sick and then say, but don't pay me for it. Then when their attendance gets so bad they are looking at a suspension or worse, they call in and say "I'm sick, and pay me a sick day." Then sitting in the grievance hearing they say, "I used a sick Day." A sick day is a "paid for day", so you don't suffer financial distress by getting sick, but it is not an excused absence. As the VP of our local used to say, "If you want to play games with them, understand this, you can win 100 times and come back to play some more. If they win once, game over." For those that think a sick day is excused, they may not use that day in the record of your attendance, but if you have really bad attendance, they can use it to show a pattern. [/QUOTE]
