How Can We Tackle Post-Holiday Absenteeism in Our Manufacturing Unit? Seeking Policy Advice

Policy Drafting for Post-Holiday Attendance Issues

I am working in a manufacturing unit as an HR professional. The common problem we are facing is that whenever there is a public holiday or festival, our supporting staff do not turn up the following day. Recently, we declared a 3-day holiday for a festival, but the support staff didn't report to the office even after the 5th day, despite prior intimation. My MD has requested me to formulate a policy to prevent future instances of indiscipline. I kindly seek the seniors' support in drafting this policy.

Please respond to my post.

Thank you.

Please research the Leave Policy available on Cite HR and amend it according to your needs. If you require further assistance, the forum members will be glad to help you out. Essentially, it is not just the policy that matters, but also the implementation and the consequences an employee faces for not adhering to the policy that make the difference.
