Am I right in thinking, if your about to get issued a stage 3 warning, do u still get to have the 10 days within a six month period or 10 days...........or do they think about dismissal then?

Applying the attendance standards

Employees on 2nd review who do better than the standard required with no more than 1 absence of 4 days or less will come off the formal procedure.

Employees on 2nd review who otherwise meet the standard revert to 1st review.

Employees who do not meet the standard on 2nd review may be considered for dismissal.

If they are not dismissed, they may be issued with a new Review 2.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consideration of dismissal

After a second review, if the standards are again not met the employee will be invited to a meeting with their second line manager to discuss continued employment.

Employees will be provided with a minimum of five working days written notice of the meeting, along with details of their attendance record, copy of an up to date OHS report and any other documentation which will be considered as part of the decision making process.

All absences up to the day of the meeting will be included in the meeting.

The manager with authority to dismiss will discuss with the employee why the attendance remains poor and the employee will be given the opportunity to put forward reasons why dismissal should not take place.

At the end of the meeting the manager will reflect on what has been discussed and all the issues and factors the employee has raised, together with the employee’s overall record. In deciding whether or notto dismiss, the manager will assess the likelihood of an improvement in attendance if employment continues.

Where a decision is taken to dismiss, the employee should be notified of their right to an appeal. If the employee is not dismissed they may remain under review at Attendance review 2. The employee will be advised in writing of the decision and the standard required.
