We are looking to find a "standard" for unscheduled absenteeism and how companies deal with this problem. Do you terminate employees after a certain number of unscheduled absences? If so, how many? What other methods of "behavior modification" do companies use to cut down on absenteeism?

Please respond with your company size and industry, as I know that industries have to deal with this differently.

Thanks so much!
