When working at Amazon, missing shifts or being late to work without prior authorization can lead to disciplinary action, potentially culminating in termination, especially in warehouse settings where consistent attendance is crucial.
A no call, no show ( which is defined as missing a shift without contacting anyone within 2 hours) is generally not tolerated and can result in immediate termination.
While specific policies may vary by location, Amazon's attendance policies often involve a points system, where accumulating points through absences, tardiness, or early departures can lead to warnings and eventually termination.
