About employee performance reviews

Villanova has a documented employee performance review process. In practice we have found that due to varying job descriptions, performance review policies vary from organization to organization.

Typically, one component of an employee performance review focuses on the employee’s attendance record.

A suggested activity for all supervisory personnel who have employees with recurring and/or abusive attendance patterns is to periodically have performance reviews with a focus on attendance

About absence trends

Your manager may ask you to periodically review employee attendance data to identify patterns of absence. Sometimes these patterns may indicate that an employee is attempting to take advantage of the attendance program.

You may be able to detect these patterns and determine whether the employee is abusing attendance policy rules.

Placeholder: sample pattern over several months such as sick the first Monday of every month

About the Attendance calendar

To quickly identify absence patterns and trends, use the Attendance Editor Calendar; depending on how it has been set up, it may have visual effects that help you quickly identify patterns and trends.

For example, sick infractions may be color-coded in blue font, while tardy infractions are color-coded in red font. By glancing through the calendar, you may notice absence trends.
