6 Attendance Frameworks for Shift-Based Teams
This catalog presents six frameworks used by HR and operations leaders to reduce absenteeism and lateness on shift-based teams, organized into three categories: Diagnostic, Policy and Accountability, and Operational and Payroll. Each framework includes its origin, core components, and a clear "when to use" condition so you can match the right method to your situation. Compiled by EasyClocking by WorkEasy Software, it serves as the methodology reference for shift-team managers implementing fair, enforceable attendance accountability that produces payroll-ready time records without manual cleanup.
The Framework at a Glance
Diagnose before you discipline
Start with the Attendance Root-Cause Diagnostic to distinguish chronic individual absenteeism from systemic scheduling failure. Applying the wrong intervention wastes time and creates legal risk.
Score absence impact objectively
The Bradford Factor Scoring Model gives you a single, auditable number that triggers escalation conversations based on disruption patterns, not gut feelings.
