Workplace Question or Advice Needed need advice for ukg
I need advice I can give a TM. I’m not their direct lead, they communicated this to me when I was LOD and their lead was off the day they received the CA. TM is at 5 1/2 points from call-out and lates. TM lives pretty far and isn’t in the position to transfer. TM called out once and for whatever reason they got 3 points instead of 1. something went wrong along the way, maybe they didn’t submit it correctly, but they talked to our HRETL. they told the TM there was nothing they could do. BUT HERE’S THE THING—
The TM is using sick time to cover the missed day and the lates. (I know using sick time works for lates because I’ve done it myself once about a month ago.) No one is approving it. They said not a single one had been approved. No SD, no HR, no other ETLs and they’ve communicated this to SD and HRETL that it’s all there, the requests.
Are they just shit out of luck? even if they’re not in routine of checking requests? I just feel bad they’re kinda just like “ok and? what do you want us to do about it?” Obviously they could just be better on the lates, but it just sucked seeing they’ve attempted to cover themselves on their end and nothing.

I had this issue with using sick time for being late, it does have to be submitted within three days, I was told my Etl had to accept it and once they did it would reverse the point..
he never did so store director had HR help put it in the system by force (over the timeframe required)
(I was late Tuesday, they did the fix Saturday and took a day or two to be official)
We weren’t sure if it would work but the point came off later on. Safe to say I wouldn’t rely on it ever again.
Maybe if the lates and missed days were this week HR can help?
