Is This A True Story - PART 2

So to provide an update from the previous post...

In good faith, I opted to simply give a warning for the wave of absences that had occurred. Naturally, the employee ensured me that she would be at work, as scheduled, going forward.

Now, just last week...

- Car accident - She got into a major car accident on Monday night, causing her to miss work Tuesday for a variety of appointments.

- Eviction - She has been evicted from her dwelling. She said that the reason for the eviction is because her boyfriend is black (the employee is white)...and supposedly, her landlord came out and stated this over the phone. Interestingly, the employee claims that she recorded the phone call, so she is looking into the possibility of pressing charges against the landlord. Who records their phone calls at home??? Predictably, this caused her to miss work Thursday afternoon so she could get her shit together.

- No call, no show - She didn't show up to work on Friday and didn't bother to call. Am I to assume that she got arrested again?

Action plan...
1. If she comes to work on Monday, I'll give her a FINAL warning. Any future occurrence (regardless of circumstances) will lead to termination.
2. If she doesn't show up on Monday, she's canned.

And so the plot thickens.

The fact that you already warned her and she didn't call on Friday should tell you something. I would fire her on Monday morning.

You have much more patience than I do. I would fire her for the no show/no call on Friday.
