Is it legal to have unstated exceptions to an attendance policy?
I was given a final warning about my lateness/attendance at work. I was given no prior verbal or written warnings. In our attendance policy, it states, "An occurrence is any consecutive day period, minimum of 1 day. For example, if an employee is out for three days consecutively, this is considered one occurrence. Exemptions to disciplinary action (e.g. medical emergency, auto accident, etc.) will be reviewed by management and your Human Resources Generalist. If an employee has received corrective action [corrective action is defined as a verbal, written, or final warning] due to absenteeism/lateness, the most current action on file will be removed following 30 consecutive days of reporting to work without an incident of absenteeism/lateness."
When I asked my HR Rep. about the policy, she said that it does not apply to me because I have an extreme case (of lateness). Is it legal for her to tell me the stated company policy does not apply to me?
your policy manual states somewhere that "not all rules or conditions can be included in this manual" or some form of that phrase, which means they can add to it or modify at will with or with out notice, you are splitting hairs they do not have to use progressive discipline as it is not law just policy they can just fire you,
