Are there attendance requirements that affect pay?

• A. No, attendance does not affect pay.
• B. Attendance is optional for pay calculations.
• C. Yes, excessive unapproved absences or tardiness can impact eligibility for commissions or bonuses per policy.
• D. Only vacation attendance affects pay.

Answer: (C)

Attendance policies link to pay through incentive programs. In many pay structures, base pay is fixed, but commissions or bonuses depend on meeting attendance standards. If there are excessive unapproved absences or tardiness, the policy may disqualify you or reduce your eligibility for incentive pay. That’s why the correct choice emphasizes that attendance can impact eligibility for commissions or bonuses per policy.

This isn’t about vacation alone, and it isn’t that attendance never affects pay or is optional. The policy often defines what counts as excessive or unapproved, and outlines the resulting pay consequences, which is why only the option acknowledging potential impact aligns with how incentive pay is typically governed.
