Hi,
I think that you should follow below mentioned ways. You will see that your employees are coming on/before time. Also, these ideas will help you to remove absenteeism as well. Ideas are include monetary and non monetary solutions.
Many companies have also experienced this problem and we have devoloped a measure to bring it down succeeded to a large extent but not 100%.
1.You can introduced a cash award(Rs100-150) scheme along with appreciation letter for the workmen those who do not have any LOP's during that year and this you can give them on the eve of 26th Jan every year.
2.It has yeilded results.Or else you can have/introduced 3 year cash award(Rs300/-) per workmen those who do not put in LOP during the 3 years.
The strength is increasing as well.
3. You can give silver article on the eve of 26 jan and have displayed his/her name and awarded photo in gallery to/of those employees who have not availed any CL,SL,EL,PL etc.
4.Lastly,you can adopt various counselling measures to him/her and his/her family members,with the help of union.
Further, what you can do is, just apply these ways not only on absebteeism but also/only on late comings.
