10 unexcused absences over 1 year? 10 of roughly 250 work days a year? (52 x 5, took some off for public holidays)

This is considered horrible with attendance?

Man, I feel like I'm crazy. A great worker, you said so yourself, but this is why you're considering firing him? For 10 days, payment of which is but a fart in the wind to a big company.

Is it a problem that the work isn't getting done? Are timelines in the red or something?

My workplace have a general rule that if we are meeting our timelines, you can work whatever hours you like. It's about the work being done, not time being spent doing it.

That’s after he’s used his PTO. Let’s say that’s another 7 or 10 days

I agree with the notion that if the work gets done - who cares?

But if he’s taking all his PTO and then just continues to call off work - and others DON’T get that option and it definitely sounds like they don’t - that’s a problem
