Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3
Explanation: 1. Punitive sanctions will be the least likely to decrease absenteeism. Sanctions should be used
only after excessive absences. Policies that do not force the employee to be untruthful
regarding sick days are the most successful in motivating attendance. Conversion of or credit
for a number of unused sick days and no limit on the accumulation of sick days are policies
which decrease absenteeism.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4
Explanation: 1. Rewards will cause employees to compete for the reward and create a culture of good
attendance. Confronting the employee and documenting the issue of absenteeism makes the
employee accountable for the absences. This allows for communication regarding the issues the
employee may be experiencing.
