Get a professional 2–3 page template you can adapt in under 30 minutes. Download the free policy template Built by certified Factorial experts FREE DOWNLOAD ### Attendance Policy faqtic.co If your attendance rules exist only in people's heads, you're one dispute away from a very awkward conversation. ## The problem No written policy — employees don't know the rules, and managers apply them inconsistently. Remote and hybrid work has made attendance expectations even murkier. When issues arise, there's nothing to point to — no SLAs, no escalation path, no documented process. ## What you'll get A clear, professional policy document you can share with your entire team today. Defined request flows, approval SLAs, and escalation paths — so everyone knows what to expect. Sections for remote work, field work, and flexible arrangements — ready for modern teams. ## What's inside - Policy scope and applicability section — who it covers and when it applies. - Time-off request flow — step-by-step process from request to approval. - Approval SLAs — how quickly managers should respond and what happens if they don't. - Remote and field work attendance rules — clear expectations for non-office staff. - Editable Word/Google Doc format — customise wording, add your logo, and publish. ## Get your free template Instant download. No spam. You'll also get 1–2 practical emails on how other SMEs solve this.
