December 21, 2006Violating Attendance Policy

Filed under: Ask Meryl by merylrunion |

I do not want to be a “tattle tale” however I have knowledge of a co-worker abusing my works attendance policy. I do not know what to do.

Meryl Responds

Assuming you’ve made sure the situation is what you think it is, tell the offender,

  • I’m aware that you’re not honoring the attendance policy. While I don’t like being a tattle tale, I also don’t like feeling complicit in your policy abuse. If I become aware of future abuses, I will report them. I’m telling you this now in the hope that it won’t be necessary.

If her abuses continue, she is doing it with the full knowledge that you will report it. That makes it her choice.
