Was very successful at managing the district attendance for several call centers, over 500 employees from different regions with different attendance guidelines; Benefits, Disabilities, Leave of Absence, FMLA and Job Accommodations. Overseeing 5 Attendance Managers and a clerical staff of 10.

Companywide had the highest score on attendance audits. I also performed attendance audits and ensure we were in compliance with ADA-The American Disability ACT, FMLA Federal Laws, AT&T Attendance Policy and local bargained agreements.

Triggered and administered discipline as required and followed up that the discipline was properly documented and removed when necessary.
