Overview
An attendance plan has to be fair to the employee and clear for the employer. This seven-page template records the absence history against the trigger, offers occupational health and other support first, sets measurable targets, and schedules reviews every two weeks with an outcome decision at the end.
The sample follows a care assistant with five absences and 14 lost days in 12 months, against a trigger of three episodes or 10 days. Replace the employee, dates, trigger rules, targets and support with your own, and keep the tone factual and respectful.
Useful for
- A home manager starting a supportive review after an employee passes the absence trigger
- An HR advisor checking that an attendance plan has evidence, support and review dates
- A small employer writing its first attendance plan before it talks to the employee
What's included
- A cover page and an absence record page with purpose, definitions, rules and responsibilities
- A timeline of the five absence episodes with a trigger table and the cost to the team
- A four-step support page with occupational health, training, flexible shifts and a mentor
- A scorecard of progress against targets at week 4
- A review page with dates, outcomes and owned actions, plus a guide to making it yours

Questions
Are the people and numbers real?
No. Cobbleton Care, the employee, the managers and every figure in the plan are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own before use.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is a layout and sample wording. Employment and disability rules differ by state and by case, so check your policy and ask an adviser before you act on a plan.
How long should a plan run?
Most plans run four to twelve weeks with a review every one or two weeks. The sample uses eight weeks and four reviews, and ends with a clear decision.
