Rotten to the Core: The Disney Point System

This is the point system as of 2016, and since there is a lot of "my manager said but my manager said this" I will keep it all in one place. The things posted below are from the hub information, or your program guide which is the most accurate information for interns.

Point System for Attendance

3 points within a 30 day period

6 points within a 90 day period

9 points within a 180 day period

12 points within a 365 day period

Point System for Clocking

0 > 2 hours will be 1/2 point

2 < + hours will be 1 point

No Call No Show

1 point 

Termination 

Attendance & Clocking: termed when receive the 4th reprimand

Performance & Safety: termed when you receive the 3rd reprimand

Days allowed off from work

Interns are allowed 10 consecutive work days based on a 40 hour week with a 5 day schedule, or 14 consecutive total days based on a calendar week. 

Common Questions

• Do points carry over into the next program?
• No, they do not points are for the current term and will only follow you if you extend your internship. 
• Do points ever disappear from your record card?
• No, they do not points follow you throughout your Disney career however they no longer count against you after your program ends
• If I am sick what happens?
• WDW interns do not get sick or personal days; however if you are sick for than one consecutive day talk to your leaders. If you have a doctors note they will combine into one point, but I must stress they have to be consecutive! So if you have a regular day off, or approved day off they do not count towards that. 
• Are performance and attendance reprimands combined?
• No, they are not combined

For anyone wondering where my main source of information was check your programs guide where you will find the most up-to-date attendance policy for The Walt Disney Company for their college program, culinary, and international interns. 

Your managers are a great resource for information on the point system, but they are not always correct on current policies and procedures. Always refer to your program guide as that is going to be the most accurate as well as the hub.
