Target is rolling out a points-based attendance policy that tracks employees’ unexcused lateness and absences. Under the system, staff accumulate points for missed work or arriving late without an approved reason. The company’s policy states that once an employee reaches 12 points, employment is terminated. The change is part of broader efforts by employers to enforce stricter in-person attendance standards, with some companies increasing monitoring and using quantified thresholds to determine consequences. While the exact details of how points are assigned can vary by role or location, the reporting centers on the same core mechanism: a formal tracking approach and a high-specificity consequence tied to a point total. The outlets describe the update as a tightening of workplace attendance enforcement, focusing on consistent presence and penalizing repeated unexcused deviations. The policy applies to in-store employees covered by the attendance program.
