Company i work for kinda has that. We can call in without a reason but the time lost is deducted from a set amount of hours allocated for such things. It is set up so that even if you show up aminute late, the deduction is an hour from your "bank"

I was with you until the minute late thing. That's crap. Grace period?

Not that I try to be late, I'm 99% early. But I'd be ticked to lose an hour because of couple minutes late on a bad morning. Though I guess some people may need that painful motivation to not abuse the system.

Right. If they take an hour for being a minute late, they should also give one for being a minute early.

I mean the only thing it does is if you're a minute late, you might as well go get a coffee and sit down in a park and be 59 minutes late.
