RE: Attendance Tracking System - Reminder
Importance:
High
Attention: All Hourly Employees
REMINDER
As stated in
previous bulletins, it is mandatory that all hourly employees call the
Attendance
Tracking System (ATS) toll free number
1-866-893-0576
at least a half hour before the start
of their shift (when they will be arriving late or absent for work).
Calling into the ATS System
will not justify your time off from work, but will allow management to
properly plan/staff their
lines for start-up.
Effective January 9th, 2006,
It will be each and ever employees
responsibility to follow the ATS call-in procedures, failure to do so
will result in
discipline.
Employees
calling for FMLA time off will still be required to call the ATS system
and
Security at 734-671-7131 to record
their absence.
Employees
calling in for medical time-off will only be required to make one
initial call to
ATS based on their return to work (RTW) date. If the medical period
exceeds the initial
RTW date, another call to ATS will need to be placed to extend their RTW
date. This
process should be duplicated until the employee sucessfully returns to
work.
Please follow
the procedures below when accessing the ATS System:
- Enter
their 9 digit social security number
- Enter
their eight digit Ford Service Date (Example, July 15, 1996
would be entered as
07151996). A common error is that employees fail to enter
the entire year when entering
their eight digit Ford Service Date.
- Press 1
if tardy, press 2 if absent
- Press 1
to confirm selection, press 2 to change selection
- If
absent select one of the following reasons for absence:
-
Illness
-
Transportation
Problems
-
Personal Business
-
Family Emergency
-
Inclement Weather
-
Other
- Enter
the expected return to work date using eight digits
(Example, August 29, 2005
would be entered as 08292005). A common error is that
employees fail to enter the
entire year when entering their expected return to work date.
- Press 1
if correct, press 2 to change information
- Record
the confirmation number issued.
If for some reason
the ATS system is down, employees are to report their absence to Plant
Security at
(734) 671-7131 and document the confirmation number. Calling in to the
ATS system does not approve
an employee's absence; it is only a notification procedure to assist in
manpower planning. Employees are
still required to clear their unscheduled absence with their supervisor
upon their return. Employees failing
to report an absence will be subject to disciplinary action.
Please feel free to
contact Anthony Picciuto (SPOC) at 734-671-7383 if you have any ATS
questions. |
