A new attendance policy is going into effect 10.1.17 that is more restrictive than the current one. The timekeeper mentioned he is going back one year from 10.1.17 to enter all previous unscheduled absences. The new policy will be administered for any/all occurrences from 10.1.16 to current. Is this legal? I work for a very large company and find it odd that they can do this.
