Importance of Attendance in Work Ethics
Being present on the job isn't being just physically present -- good attendance on the job means you're present and accountable. Poor attendance can ruin your employability, make your boss question your motivation and wreck your relationships with co-workers. Taking a day off anytime you don't feel like working might seem justified, particularly if your employee benefits include vacation and sick time. But spotty attendance is a reflection of your work ethic, and how seriously you take your job and the people with whom you work.
