That is not policy in the US. Our termination policy regarding absences is based on written corrective actions. If you're too ill to effectively schedule and be able to count on you to really be there pretty consistently, your manager will have to have a conversation with you about what is a realistic schedule you can have, but it would be a more collaborative conversation than a termination.

ETA: also, omg, being sent home sick after you made the effort to come in and try your best because it's not a contagious thing is not on the list of fireable offenses.

That’s my tiktok—-sorry if I’ve caused you anxiety. I actually read about it on this subreddit. I was talking about it as what I had read—and based it on my experience working for Sheetz and THEIR point system. It’s something being spoken about amongst baristas rn so I have no idea if it’s actually going to happen—just was saying that it’s not gonna be good if it DOES happen.

Maybe personally they’re doing that? Ive never heard of that being a policy but i would definitely find out if youre in an at-will employment state. If you are in one your employer can let you go with no ramifications legally citing business as their reason. Are you working with everyone there to find coverage? I only ask because if youre getting hep covering your shifts when you cant be there and give plenty of notice beforehand you should be fine.

I haven’t seen any details or heard any details about it though and the specifics.

Never heard of this before for the Bux. My old job had a point system in place.

There's an entry on this week's update for dms/sms only about "rewarding partners" with a scoring system, but that's all I've seen.
