I am little perplexed about this undue concern for precedents. Not all precedents are bad. Managements need not be apprehensive of setting up good precedents that convey positivism of the management, enhance it's image and good will among employees, help employer branding and smooth employer-employee relations which in fact may have a healthy effect on productivity.Work-life balance is one the important factors that is engaging the minds of employees in choosing their employers and that of employers in retaining employees. Precedents of this nature are not of daily occurrence and the management shall accord concessions on merits of each case and should it be so apprehensive of a precedent, it can lay down certain norms too to regulate their sanction.
