Point System of an Employer

A doctor had placed me out of work for three day.

The place I work has a policy of giving points

"the Point System" for missing work with a doctors

slip or not. This is not the first time this has happend to me or my fellow employees.

Is this leagel for the company to place a penalty on its empolyees? If not what what labor code may I find this in?

Thank You for your Time

Yes it is legal. Actually, unless you have sick time or qualify for time under the Family Leave Act, you can be fired for missing any time off work.

Yes, a no-fault points system is legal, so long as it does not discriminate against employees with disabilities and employees with on the job illnesses or injuries.
