How long should attendance points last?

Points that never expire punish employees forever for old mistakes; points that vanish too quickly lose their deterrent effect. The right window keeps your policy both fair and effective.

Rolling expiration

Each point drops off a set number of days after it's received — for example, twelve months. This rewards sustained improvement: as time passes, good attendance restores an employee's balance automatically.

Scheduled reset

Everyone's balance resets on a fixed interval — say, at the start of each year. It's simple and predictable, but it can create a rush of leniency right before the reset.

Which should you use?

Most teams prefer rolling expiration because it's continuous and fair. Cloud Point Data supports both — pick per organization and set the exact number of days.
