Attendance Point Calculator
Add up an employee’s attendance points on your own no-fault policy, and see where they land on your progressive-discipline ladder. Set your point values and thresholds, enter the incidents in the active window, and read the result. Protected absences should never be pointed.

The method
How an attendance point system works
A no-fault attendance point system assigns a set number of points to each attendance incident. That covers an unplanned absence, a no call no show, a late arrival, or leaving early. Points add up. Once an employee reaches a defined total, a step of progressive discipline is triggered, from a verbal warning up to a termination review. The point of the system is consistency. The same incident earns the same points for everyone, so discipline rests on a clear, documented record rather than a manager’s judgment.
How this is calculated
Points usually roll off over a rolling window
Most policies count only incidents inside a rolling window, commonly the last twelve months, so older points drop off over time. This calculator adds up the active incidents you enter. The Excel version tracks each incident by date and rolls points off automatically once they age past your window. That is the accurate way to run the system across a team.
Protected leave is always excluded
This is the part that gets employers into trouble. Some time off cannot be counted as points at all, even under a no-fault policy. That covers the FMLA, an ADA accommodation, workers’ compensation, and any state or local protected-leave law. Counting protected absences, or disciplining someone for them, can lead to interference or discrimination claims. Identify and exclude protected time first, then document the unprotected incidents that points are based on. Get qualified help before acting on a high-point employee.
Carry this into the decision
Track a whole team, not one person at a time
The in-depth Excel version logs every incident with a date, rolls points off automatically after your window, flags protected absences, and shows each employee’s status on one dashboard.
