Late/Absent policy at your job

What is the late or absent policy at your job? Do you get in if you're late? Do your superiors expect a call if you're going to be late, or do you just show up late and say, "Sorry I'm late!"?
What about sick days, missing shifts, going home sick, etc? |

Within reason, I arrive and leave whenever I feel like it. My boss is coo' like dat. :)
My sick leave and vacation leave is combined in what is called "comprehensive leave" and is accrued at a certain rate depending on how long you've been with the company. |

they're super flexible about it at my job, as long as you're responsible and you don't abuse it.
i always call to let my supervisor know if i'm running late, even if i'm only running 5 minutes late. luckily it doesn't really matter, since our office is open from 7am-6pm every day, we can pretty much work whatever hours we want as long as we work a 40-hour week. for example, today is the 2nd day this week that i've come in 45 minutes later than i normally do (i usually get in at 9am), but i'll just end up working until 5:45 to make up for it.
sick days, going home sick, etc.. they're super awesome about that stuff too. we get up to 4 occurrences per year, and then after that you just have to provide a doctor's note if you're sick again.
i <3 my job. |

I usually arrive 10 minutes late... but I also leave 10~15 minutes later than I should, so it's all right, I guesss :p
I can be absent whenever I need, as long as I tell my boss. I, for example, am going today to a seminar in São Paulo, and my boss didn't mind the fact that I'm going to be absent until Saturday.
The fact that I'm paid by the hour is certainly a reason why my job is not bad in that matter. If I don't work, I just don't get paid :p |

I work from home and work however long i want with maybe 50 minutes of contact with my company / week. For example i'm in boxer-briefs currently, drinking coffee and intend to stay this way until approximately 10:00, at which point i will go downstairs and battle the mighty dungeon gladiators in Suikoden V.
I'd probably, say, in a given week, I probably do about 5 hours of real, actual work.
Whyyyy meeeeee Goooodddddddd, whyyyyyyyyyy????? |

I make my own hours.
With regard to my employees... I'm pretty flexable, as long as they get their work done and we're meeting our obligations to our clients. |

My work doesn't even care. I can get away with murder and they would be like " Oh, it was Tricia? awww she killed someone" I can't NOT come wihtout reason, obviously, I just call my boss and say " yap, I'm not coming in today.. see you tomorrow" If I'm going to be late I don't call, I don't have a job where I would need someone to cover my shift so I come in late sit down and start working.
I do the same with my assistant. If she's late she's late, no questions asked. If she's not coming in she just gives me a quick call. |

I can show up anywhere between 8 and 10 as long as I finish what I need to get done on a given day unless I have meetings or procedures planned at a specific time. As far as not showing up, my PI is very flexible, sometimes even allowing me to take 1/2 days and not counting it against my sick days or vacation days.
Oh and I get 25 vacation days and 25 sick days a year, plus 12 paid holidays, not too bad! |

unless you are coughing up blood, vomiting, or having explosive diarhea (sp?) you're expected to stay at work (i.e. no going home sick because of a headache or something simple like that).
as far as calling in sick, you better have the same items as above, or be in the hospital. |
