@ross1234: the policy isn't account-specific anymore. all accounts are already covered by this policy. ...hehe, naminaw ko sa orientation.
@TS: try to review the policy. i don't think pwede ka i-accuse of awol as long as you have proper documents like med cert and stuff you get from the hospital. and as long as you call in. i mean, how's a person suppose to work if he doesn't even have the strength to feed himself. if you're not satisfied with ur tl's explanation, i suppose you could always approach the HR department for further clarification. beside, it's ur right as an employee to be informed.
