This must a "northern" thing.....guess the clue is in the name! Never heard of such a scheme in London.

Each case has to be taken on its own, not against some arbitrary points system. You could be off half a year, but have a very good reason for it. Or, off work for a few days and not have a good reason.

I don't know what employment legislation is like now, but I'm sure lawyers would have a field day against "measuring" people like cattle against a points system.
