Points Manager Module
Points Manager automates the entire absence control process, applies all rules consistently and fairly, and ensures that employees are penalized when specific conditions are met. However, Points Manager also helps recognize employees who don't incur attendance infractions. Infractions can be configured to expire, and employees can earn back points for good behavior. This promotes and rewards good attendance, thereby improving the overall corporate organization.



Fully Customizable
Each company deals with absenteeism differently, so there are hundreds of different types of policies in use. Points Manager is fully customizable through a wide range of parameters and can accommodate nearly any type of policy and tracking method.

Standard Features
• An unlimited number of policies can be set up in Points Manager, and each policy can have different penalty rules. For example, the policy for one location might stipulate that verbal warnings be given to employees with four points, while the policy for another location might allow employees to accumulate up to five points before receiving a warning.

• Each policy can contain an unlimited number of periods in which rules or limits apply. For example, employees might be required to complete a 90-day probationary period with strict penalty thresholds before advancing to the standard period with different thresholds. Periods can be configured to start on employees' hire date or a predefined date.

• Unique point and/or hourly values are assigned to triggers such as absences, tardies, and long breaks, and different triggers can be tracked for different employees. Pay types like sick leave and vacation can also be associated with values so that use of those pay types triggers an infraction.

• Supervisors are automatically emailed when employees incur infractions, and they can enter comments about each infraction.

• Infractions can be configured to expire, and different infractions can be configured to expire differently or not at all. However, all original infractions are always archived regardless of any expiration policies.

• Points Manager calculates each employee's point balance according to the configuration of policies, creates penalties when predetermined thresholds are reached, and provides reports on employees who have received penalties so that appropriate actions can be taken.

• Employees can receive points or hours deductions as a reward for not incurring any infractions. For example, employees might receive a 1/2 point credit if they do not have any infractions within a 30-day period. This time period is configurable and can be set to key off of days, weeks, months, quarters, or years.

• Points or hourly totals can be zeroed out on a specific day of the year. This is a global setting for each policy, so all points or hours will be zeroed out on a specific day each year for all employees assigned to the policy.

Points Manager Reports
Points Manager includes five reports designed to give supervisors quick access to Points Manager policy assignments, incidents employees have incurred, and penalties employees have received. These reports are briefly described below.

Employee Attendance Detail Report
Provides a detailed employee-by-employee listing of all incidents incurred as well as any deductions received as a result of good behavior or expired incidents. This report displays all transactions relating to employees' Points Manager policies, so it's ideal for use during an employee's annual review or as part of an employee's termination file.

Attendance Penalties Report
Displays an employee-by-employee listing of all penalties received. Each penalty is listed along with the penalty name, notification type, review date, and the supervisor's comments. In addition, the incidents that triggered the penalties are displayed along with detail about how and when the incidents were incurred.

Attendance Penalties Not Reviewed Report
Displays an employee-by-employee list of any penalties that have not yet been reviewed by supervisors. This report provides an ideal way for supervisors to quickly identify any penalties that need to be reviewed at the end of a week or pay period.

Perfect Attendance Report
Displays all employees who did not incur any incidents (excluding deductions resulting from good behavior or expired incidents) during the date range on which the report was produced. This report can be run for a single day or a long date range.

Employee Policy Assignments Report
Provides an employee-by-employee listing of Points Manager policy assignments. Each employee is listed along with the plan(s) to which he or she is assigned and the start and end dates of the plans .
