Questions 26-30 refer to the following e-mail and reply
To: Rob Johnson [rjohnston@network.com]
From: Gerald Mills [gmills@network.com]
Subject: Employee absenteeism
Rob,
The company is going to institute a new absenteeism policy next year, but they want to try some pilot programs around the country to see which one works the best The program they want your branch to use is called the bankable-sick-day program
What happens is, for every month that an employee is not absent from work, they get
to bank 8 more hours of vacation time This is up to a total of 40 hours, or one extra week in vacation If a person is sick then they lose not only their pay for that particular day but also the opportunity to bank an extra vacation day for that month
Attached is some more reading material on this program and the official policy addenda We are planning on starting this program on the first day of May, and it will run until the end of April, next year
By watching to see which program proves to be the most effective at eliminating or decreasing absenteeism, we will know which one to adopt permanently If you have any questions about this program, you can either contact me by e-mail, or give me a call at (677) 455-8975
Sincerely,
Gerald Mills
Vice President of Human Resources
Alliance Networking
Trang 19To: Gerald Mills [gmills@network.com]
From: Rob Johnson [rjohnston@network.com]
Subject: The new absenteeism policy
Dear Gerald,
I received your e-mail and I read over all of the policy information in your attachment
I think I understand most of what you want our branch to do, but I have a few questions First, what happens if an employee is late? Should that be treated as in the old policy
of just docking the employee for as many minutes as they are late, or is there something new that should be done?
Secondly, there are a few employees working at this branch which we have discussed
in the past who have some severe absenteeism problems We have not been able to dismiss them because they have not gone so far as to break our company’s termination limit I am assuming that because we want to test this policy we are just going to let them continue on as usual to see if their behavior changes
I am planning on having a meeting with people on March 20th to tell them about the new policy and answer any of their questions at that time That way I believe we will
be all ready for the May 1st start date
Yours truly,
Rob Johnston
Director
