Scheduling Sh*tshows: Handling Employee Callouts, Late Arrivals & No-Shows

Kara Restaurant Group

As a business owner, scheduling is an inevitably challenging task at times. From sick kids, COVID, and hangovers to last-minute visits from friends and the endless list of other reasons employees call out, how do you handle it when someone says they can’t show up for their shift? Noelle, Nick, and George are discussing their opinions on questions, including:

  • Do you have a policy regarding callouts?
  • Are you more annoyed by 24-hour or same-day callouts?
  • Does the age of your staff impact their likelihood of calling out of work?
  • How does an employee arriving late impact the restaurants readiness for a shift?
  • Are men or women more likely to call out of work?
