The kit ships as editable Word, Excel, and PDF files. Completed examples use a fictional plant.
Manufacturing Attendance and Points System
Put one defensible attendance standard on the floor: a points policy you adopt, a tracker that does the math, the conversations word for word, and the forms in English and Spanish, so every shift runs the same rules and the record holds up.
One-time purchase, no subscription. Instant download.
Built by expert HR practitioners and leaders
- One standard on every shift: a points policy you adopt and a tracker every supervisor runs the same way, so the no-call no-show gets the same answer whether first shift or third is on the floor
- A tracker that does the points math: three selectable policy presets, a protected-absence flag, and automatic points, rolling-window, and discipline-stage math, with an Employee Summary that rolls up by shift and department and flags who needs action
- The hard conversations, word for word: five scripts from the first tardiness pattern to the final warning meeting, each with likely responses, suggested replies, and the documentation step built in
- Protected absences kept off the count: a log that separates absences that should never earn points from the ones that should, which is exactly where homemade attendance spreadsheets create legal risk
- Forms a bilingual crew can read: four attendance forms in English and Spanish side by side, each with a completed example, so the write-up is understood and signed the same day
The system gives the floor one standard and the record. It is not a substitute for counsel, and attendance, leave, and protected-absence rules change and vary by state, so have the policy reviewed before you publish it.
Five editable files in Word, Excel, and PDF, general business information, not legal or tax advice. The kit helps you run attendance in a clear, consistent, and defensible way; attendance, leave, and protected-absence rules change and vary by state, so have your policy reviewed against applicable law before you adopt it, and confirm your requirements before you rely on this.

Five files that put one attendance standard on the floor
The tracker does the points math and every document opens in Word with a PDF copy. Every template ships with a completed example, the Product License covers the kit, and a short Google Sheets guide is included.
Start Here Guide
The one-page map: pick a preset, load the roster, log events, and run the weekly five-minute review.
Manufacturing Attendance Points Tracker
Three selectable policy presets, Standard Plant, Strict Safety Sensitive, and Lenient Small Shop, with one row per occurrence carrying shift, department, event type, and a protected-absence flag. Points, the rolling window, and discipline stages calculate on their own, and the Employee Summary rolls up by shift and department and flags who needs action.
Manufacturing Attendance Point Policy
The ready-to-adopt policy: purpose, definitions, the preset point tables that match the workbook, point decay, protected-leave carve-out language flagged for legal review, progressive discipline steps, and an acknowledgment block, with a completed example throughout.
Supervisor Attendance Conversation Scripts
Five word-for-word scripts from the first tardiness pattern to the final warning meeting, each with the objective, the preparation, the exact wording, likely responses with suggested replies, documentation guidance, and follow-up actions.
Bilingual Attendance Forms
Four forms in English and Spanish side by side: attendance write-up, no-call no-show notice, attendance counseling acknowledgment, and return-to-work confirmation, each with a completed example.
From a different answer on every shift to one standard that holds up
The preset sets the policy, the log does the math, and the weekly review turns a flag into the matching script and the matching form.
Pick a preset and load the roster
Choose the policy preset closest to your plant, adjust any value you want, and put the crew into the tracker, so every point value and threshold is set before the first occurrence is logged.
Log each occurrence the day it happens
Record the absence with the shift, the department, the event type, and whether it is protected, and let the points, the rolling window, and the discipline stage calculate on their own.
Run the weekly five-minute review
Open the Employee Summary, see who is flagged by shift and department, and hand anyone over the line the matching script and the matching bilingual form, the same way on every shift.
Built for the floor, honest about protected leave
Attendance is the problem every plant has, and almost no plant runs it the same way twice. This system puts one standard on every shift and says plainly where a protected absence stays off the count and where to route a call that carries legal weight.
Who it is built for
Who the system fits, and where to go if your need is something else.
Built for
- A plant manager or HR of one who needs every shift enforcing the same attendance rules instead of a different answer depending on who is on.
- A floor where the points live in someone’s head or a spreadsheet nobody trusts, and the file is thin when a termination finally happens.
- A supervisor who wants the hard attendance conversation handled the same calm, documented way every time.
If your need is different
- The first ninety days on the floor. The Plant Onboarding System runs pre-boarding, a safe day one, the signed safety orientation, and a 30, 60, 90 day plan.
- The supervisor running the shift. The Shift Supervisor Toolkit gives the floor leader the playbook, the scripts, and the shift handoff log.
