Strategies to Manage and Enforce Punctuality in the Workplace

Dear All,

I have been tasked by management to penalize employees for their late reporting to the office. Can anyone help by informing me of the statutory rules regarding marking leave for tardiness?

Hi,
To minimize late comings you can ask the employees to come to office before shift timings. We have fixed shift starting from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. If an employee coming to office after 11:00 AM is marked as LATE and following is the policy for late comings:
• Late of 2 days upto 11:30 AM are allowed in a month, and in case employee comes late more then 2 times then for 2 late comings ½ day’s leaves/salary of the employee shall be deducted.
• Employees reporting after 11:30 AM shall loose ½ day leave/salary.
• Regular late coming will reflect on the appraisal/ review of the employee’s performance Appraisal.

Take on a positive attitude and try motivating them to arrive on time. Explore whether flexible hours can be permitted. Communicate to them that punctuality will be enforced. To demonstrate your seriousness, ensure that latecomers are consistently marked as "Late." Three instances of tardiness in a month will result in a caution, and the fourth occasion will lead to leave being granted.

Avinash! I think when the boss/supervisor is on time, nobody dares to come late. Look at the other side too.

In my office, if the employees come late three times in a month, their one day of leave is deducted. Secondly, my office hours start at 9:30. Employees must arrive by 9:45 at the latest, according to statutory law. Please ensure compliance with these policies.

Thank you.

Hello friends,

I am facing a problem regarding the late arrival of an employee. I have deducted his salary two or three times, although he hasn't learned from it. They are very valuable persons in our company, and we didn't lose him. So, kindly give some tricky ideas to make him regular at work.
