This is a tough situation
I manage a large center (500+ employees and growing) We track attendance over a rolling 12 month period. And we do not count each day as an occurence, if they are consecutinve work days, it is only one occurence. And if it is a pre-approved (not a call in) we don't count it. We kept this in the policy to cover scheduled doctor's appointments and things like that. Our policy states 4 occurences verbal warning, 5 occurences written, 6 occurences final written and 7 possible termination.
I have always felt that attendance policies are written for employees with chronic attendance issues. The good employee that comes to wrk every day, and only calls on when they are sick won't be affected by this type of policy.
