AdvertisementWalmart would not provide details on its points-based attendance system to Business Insider. AdvertisementSimilar to Walmart's policy, Amazon uses a points-based attendance system that could land employees in hot water if they hit eight points in a rolling 60-day period, according to the company. Many companies, including mid-size ones, have started to implement a points-based system to track lateness and absences, Zambrano noted. Amazon disputed the description of its points-based attendance system as totally "automated." "The attendance system works very similar to a standard time clock system," Stephenson, Amazon's spokesperson, told Business Insider.

☆ Astranis internet satellite malfunctions before beginning Alaska service, backup planned for spring

Satellite internet service provider Astranis said Friday its first commercial satellite in orbit, which was intended to provide coverage to Alaska, has malfunctioned. The company's Arcturus satellite suffered an issue with both its solar arrays, the company said. On Monday the company identified the root cause, which was solar array drive assembly made by a vendor and not by Astranis. "Solar array drives are motors that rotate the solar arrays to make sure they're always pointed at the sun, and they go transmit that power back into the spacecraft. Gedmark confirmed on Friday that – until the solar array issue – the Astranis-built parts were working.

But the company's approach marks a unique way of providing broadband service from space, Gedmark has previously said. Astranis will be able to "cover the entire Philippines with this one satellite," Gedmark noted.
