This morning, our HR list got an email from one of our employees that says
he is sick but has a personal problem too  and needs the day off.  He
claimed sick yesterday.  I told him to go to the doctor otherwise he needs
to come in.  

 

Then we got an email from his girlfriend that also works here saying she
needed the day off to take care of her boyfriend.  

I told her that is not how it works,  PTO must be pre arranged.  If she is
sick stay home.  Otherwise come to work.  This kid of stuff will jeopardize
her employment.

 

They are both in early 20s I think.  That generation claims to be so
unhealthy..  

 

What should be done in these situations?  The girl is doing a job of a
former employee that was malingering, many weeks over the past couple of
years.   She was a drama queen and always stirring up trouble.  Finally got
enough and told her if she didn't get a doctors note or show up she would be
fired.  At that she said she is not gonna return until she feels respected.
I hit the eject button.

 

Most of our employees are not any  problem at all.  Many of them have told
me this is the best job they have ever had.  But we always have one or two
problem cases.

 

Like to know the absenteeism policy across the spectrum of companies.  I
cannot imagine even the most woke companies allow this kind of stuff.
