What are federal law standards for tardiness to work?

What are the federal law standards for being late to work? How late can you be without getting in trouble? Is there any extra information pertaining specifically to Pennsylvania employment?What are federal law standards for tardiness to work?
the federal law is that it is an employer-employee issue and as such the employer can set any policy they deem necessary for the operation of their business.





as far as legal actions excessive absenteeism or excessive tardies are both grounds with cause for termination (no unemployment benefits) if that is the companies policy.



the company should have a set policy and should communicate that policy but the law does not require them to.

if they fail to communicate the policy prior to termination then the termination would be without cause (since the employee was not informed of the policy) and therefor the employee may qualify for unemployment.What are federal law standards for tardiness to work?
Did you really think there would be federal, or state, laws saying you can break work rules without getting into trouble? You've got to be kidding.



If you are late, you can be fired. Actually, PA is an employment at will state, so even if you are NOT late, you can be fired and they don't have to give you a reason or even have one.

there is no law on tardiness, if your job says start at 8 then you have to be there at 8. When you accepted the job, you also agreed to a schedule. check the EEOC if you want but i dont think you will find any different information
