Can someone explain how retail banking can have a separate attendance policy from the rest of the bank. I have friends in commercial and they are like WTF. We have this rolling twelve month thing with your “ occurances “ and it’s not clearly stated that they fall off after twelve months. There are things out of your control like illness and traffic accidents. But oh no if you’re 10 late you get another occurrence. And we have area leaders making up their own attendance rules for salary employees. This place is a joke.

Your retail executive likes to be different and very flashy, all you need to know.
AL here, it’s a scam. It is all done with favoritism and there’s no clear adherence to it. Additionally when the AL make them for exempt BL it’s technically illegal although it definitely happens and is also not enforced without favoritism and retaliation. I think it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen and that’s why I document everything and am lenient with everyone so it’s fair while protecting interest of all parties. FYI, there’s someone with two occurrences for call out in 12 months on written now. Your manager can state circumstances to bring it, they say it was a Friday or Monday or high traffic day that impacted the company or a day where someone was on vacation ect.
Those types of policies have been common for retail and call center type employees across multiple industries for my entire career. It feels like garbage and they're almost never consistently applied because of favoritism but they're not new and not likely to go away.
