Attendance at work, whether in a physical work location or virtual, is usually an essential component of the relationship between an employer and employee. Frequently an employer expects an employee to be present and engaged in work even when the employee does not work at the employer’s place of business, during agreed upon hours of work. As part of the employment relationship it is good practice that there be an agreement in place that indicates an employee is to be engaged in work at expected locations and times of day. When employees are not at work as expected this can cause a disruption in productivity.
