How Do You Handle Latecoming in the Workplace, Especially with Senior Staff?

Dear Seniors,

Please, I will appreciate it if you can share with me some conventional HR policies regarding latecoming in an organization. What are the reasonable approaches to mitigating latecoming? In cases where senior employees are fond of or culpable for latecoming, what are the disciplinary measures that apply, especially if these senior employees are above the HR person in the organization?

I would appreciate a comprehensive diagnosis of my issues and thorough recommendations for solutions to these issues.

Conventional Policy:

1. Late-coming policy to deduct salary for being late. The higher the designation, the higher the rate of deduction. Leave balance may also be reduced.

Non-Conventional:

1. Employee of the month for punctuality.
2. Introduce an attendance scheme providing incentives for employees who arrive on time.
