The High Cost of Manual Point Tracking

When managers calculate attendance points by hand, small errors compound into inconsistent enforcement, missed protected leave exclusions create real legal exposure, and HR spends hours reconciling records instead of focusing on the people and problems that actually need attention.

$1.8M/yr

Annual cost of wasted policy and discipline administrative time

$2.2M/yr

Annual cost of employee absenteeism associated with overstaffing and separations

$500K/yr

Annual costs of absence disputes and grievances.

How Point Tracking Works

An absence triggers one automated workflow. Attendance Tracking captures the report-off and absence reason, Point Tracking calculates the points and discipline progression, and Immediate Absence Notifications alerts the right people in real time, all without a single manual step.
1

Employee Calls In w/ Attendance Tracking →

Reported via phone, text, app, or web. The system instantly logs timestamp and reason, and shows the employee their updated point total and next-absence consequence in the same interaction.
2

Points Auto-Assigned →

Rules engine applies points based on absence type, timing, and notice given, per your policy.
3

Manager Notified →

The supervisor receives an instant alert with point total and coverage gap identification.
4

Escalation Triggers

Progressive discipline workflow activates when an employee reaches a threshold (e.g., 5 points = verbal warning).

Full Suite of Point Tracking Capabilities

Built to handle policy requirements as complex as your organization, across every location, every state mandate, and every union agreement, with the documentation your teams need when a decision is questioned.

 Fully Automated Absence Reconciliation

Attendance Tracking and Point Tracking work together to eliminate the hours HR and Ops spend manually matching absences to policy. Every record reconciles itself the moment it's logged.

Real-Time Employee Point Visibility

Employees see their current point balance and the consequence of their next absence the moment they report off, helping them make better attendance decisions before a threshold is crossed.

Fully Digitized Multi-Location Policy Logic

Complex, location-specific policies no longer live in a PDF or spreadsheet waiting to be manually interpreted. Point Tracking digitizes and automates policy logic, progression, and discipline actions per employee and per location, powered by the same Policy Automation engine behind every threshold trigger.

Comprehensive Point Tracking Features

Point Tracking isn't a spreadsheet replacement. It's a legal-grade documentation system and absence improvement solution. Every point, threshold, and disciplinary action applies consistently and records automatically, giving HR and Legal a defensible record for every employee, every time.

Built-In Compliance Safeguards

A point system managed poorly is a legal liability. Missed exclusions, inconsistent enforcement, and undocumented decisions all create exposure. Point Tracking builds the guardrails in from the start, so compliance isn't an afterthought, it's automatic.

Federal & State Mandate Tracking

Federal and state mandate tracking that surfaces patterns of leave misuse before they become disputes.

Audit Trail

A timestamped audit trail for every point assigned, adjusted, or removed, ready for unemployment hearings and litigation.

Consistent Application

Consistent application of policy across every employee, shift, and location.
