A few years ago, we had a driver get suspended because he was late nine times in one month.
He was all pissed off about it.
I told him I was not late nine times during my entire career
That’s about 40%. Time for this guy to find something else to do.
I had 5 times in 36 years.

Things can happen from time to time out of your control.

Good news it should be easy to show improvement
You make a great point. I should of made the examples a bit more aggreges. But we do have 4 terminations in my center that these members have only been late a handful of times in the last two months. The company is trying to stretch things right now.
Here they are disciplining people for using paid sick days or even FMLA both of which are illegal. I keep trying to get the members to call the dept of labor wage and hour division and report the violation and just this week I finally got someone who sounds like they're gonna follow thru and do it. Hopefully it puts a dent in the harassment, it's ridiculous.
In your example you were late 3 times in January and got a warning letter. You were late 3 times in February and got a suspension. You were late once more and got terminated. Let's say for arguments sake that was in March and it's the only time you were late that month. Does the company really have grounds to terminate you considering you've shown improvement?
Improvement would be the argument but here it would still be a working term and then yes reduced to what ever resolution they came to.
Whats going on everybody?
Laboring
Everything that is with in the time frame of your discipline timeliness is "visible" at panel.
So lets say your discipline lasts 9 months. every attendance issue that you've had for the last 9 months from the date of termination could be used at panel. unless you have proof that it was all agreed to, the labor manager could spin it whatever way he wanted to.
documentation is your friend. why do you think UPS writes people up for every little thing.
That's why it's so important to document every little positive shit you do :)
