What if an employee calls to say they are going to be late and gets in an hour or so after the start of their work day? How is the time counted/charged?
If it’s not a pattern that requires some form of management follow up, and if it’s just a matter of minutes or a couple of hours, the supervisor should see if the support staff member can make up the lost time. Remember, for support staff, the lost time must be made up within the same work week or deducted from wages.
