Attendance Management Policy Writers

What are Attendance Management Policies?

Attendance management policies outline how organisations monitor, manage and support employee attendance at work.

Regular attendance is vital for productivity, service delivery and team performance. A clear policy helps ensure that absences are managed fairly and consistently, while providing appropriate support to employees who may be struggling with health or personal issues.

What Do Attendance Management Policies Cover?

An attendance management policy typically includes:

• Expectations for regular and punctual attendance

• Procedures for reporting absence, including notification requirements and timescales

• Recording and monitoring of attendance by managers or HR

• Return-to-work discussions and support for employees after absence

• Procedures for managing short-term and long-term sickness absence

• Support measures, such as occupational health referrals or reasonable adjustments

• Responsibilities of managers to apply the policy consistently and fairly

• Responsibilities of employees to maintain good attendance and communicate effectively

• Links to absence management, wellbeing, health and safety and disciplinary policies

A clear policy helps employees understand their responsibilities around attendance and absence reporting, while giving managers tools to deal with issues in a structured way.

It also ensures compliance with UK employment law, including the Equality Act 2010, which protects employees with health conditions or disabilities, and the Employment Rights Act 1996, which sets out entitlements related to sickness absence.

By managing attendance proactively, organisations can reduce disruption, provide the right support for staff, and promote a culture of responsibility and fairness.
