Attendance Management Hr May 2026

Dan’s manager, Tom, came to Maya’s office. "You can’t write Dan up. He’s the backbone of the floor."

Maya kept the Excel file. But she added one column: Root Cause . And that single column saved the culture.

She terminated him. Not for being late. For lying about the code.

The CFO hated it. "People will abuse trust."

One employee did abuse it. A junior accountant used T (traffic) ten times in a month. Maya pulled his badge swipes. He was actually arriving 45 minutes late and leaving 45 minutes early.

No policy catches that. But managers paying attention? They do.
