Attendance has two main purposes - payroll calculation and coming to office on time. All attendance tools like handwritten attendance roll registers, muster rolls, electronic systems mainly are used for payroll purposes and if that is the case then coming on time or becoming late becomes secondary. Coming on time was supposed to maintaining discipline in the past and those came late were taken as irresponsible, lazy and were punished but they did not change. Let me assure you it never changes. In Pakistan almost every multinational has removed these registers and handpunch machines (of course some of them use only for payroll purposes) and the level of motivation and the standard performance has gone high since. Not only the multinational but few local private companies have begun to follow suit and they are performing much better than others. Coming on time creates discipline is nothing but a myth now. I can write further but think enough this time. So please remove this myth from your organisations it works negatively.
