How attendance points are calculated

Point values and review stages

Your attendance policy assigns points to qualifying absences, missed shifts, late arrivals, and early departures. Those points remain active during the policy's review period. The policy also sets the thresholds for verbal, written, final, and termination review.

See the calculation

When points expire

Points expire according to the rolling review period in your policy, commonly 12 months. Enter qualifying incidents from that period to calculate the active total. The Excel tracker records incident dates and removes points from the active total when they expire.

Protected leave and point eligibility

Protected leave receives zero attendance points, even under a no-fault policy. This includes FMLA leave, ADA accommodations, state or local protected leave, and qualifying workers’ compensation absences. Identify protected leave before recording the incidents that qualify for points. Have HR review the incident record and applicable leave protections before deciding the next step.

Maintain the attendance record

Track attendance across your team

The calculator gives you the active point total for one employee. The Attendance Point System Tracker records incidents by date, calculates point expiration, assigns zero points to protected leave, and shows active totals and review stages on the Employee Summary tab.
