Hi,
Dear All, please update on this , Can there be a H.R policy of deducting salary ( LOP for a day ) for every 3 late comings .
Generally many companies deducts 1 day leave for 3 late coming . What should be the standard practice? Is there any rule for this?
How can we change the practice of late comings
Please reply

Hi Shuvra,
I feel it is little harsh deducting 1 day for every 3 times late coming. Being HR you need to also consider the facts that employees get late due to various factors like traffic, staying far in cities like Pune, need to drop child at school etc..... Again in this policy of yours, you also need to define that the late coming will be allowed uptil what time? What if one employee comes 30 minutes late and other comes 15 minutes late. There has to be upper cap too which you have not mentioned.
Suggest you change it to 45 minutes in a month. For your better clarity -
First 45 minutes after actual login time - no deduction.
For every 15 minutes from then - half day deduction.
The deduction is first from the balance leave (CL/PL) & in case the employee does not have any leave balance, the same is deducted as LOP.
Or if you want to completely change the practice of late coming then make it 9 hours working. Employee can come any time but needs to compensate total working hours - presuming your working hours are such that the company remains open from 9 to 9 minimum.

Deduction is not a permanent solution of late comer. Repentance late coming without proper justification is misconduct and against the service rule.
A disciplinary action can be initiated against late comer to constant the norms & discipline of an organisation.

Dear ,
It is not fair to deduct one leave for 3 days late comings.
We have manpower around 10000 appx. and In our organisation, the following practice is followed in regards to late coming :
1. First 30 minutes in a month - No deductions
2. 31 - 60 minutes in a month - 0.125 days Casual leave deducted
3. 61-120 minutes in a month - 0.25 days Casual leave deducted
4. Above 120 minutes in a month - 0.50 days casual leave deducted

For every 15 minute if there is a LOP in case if employee stay back after office hrs due to extra official work will he get extra pay. And if it is that case then the rule is a valid one.

In our company, 3 days late comings up to 30 minutes each in a month are permissible. If late for more than 30 minutes in a day, the employee will not be allowed to enter the factory. In case of late comings of more than 3 days, the annual increment and promotion will be extended accordingly. These are legally included in the certified standing order.

If a 30 minutes or 45 minutes grace period is given to the employee, all the employees will take it as granted and reach office aftter the allowed grace period only. There is no doubt in that. I have seen it in my previous office. So its better to give a grace period of 15 minutes. In a month 3 lates upto 1 hour can be allowed if there is any genuine reason. And late coming should be informed the HR in prior. 4th late can be counted as a half day, 8 lates as one day so on..

Hi ,
As per my point of view late coming is due to some common problem.
If any employee came late more than equal to three time in month then half day salary will deduct.
For this action we have require our company policy for Leave & Attendance.
I also agree with this point of view that employee have some basic problem, drop to children, traffic etc but it his all employees responsibility to follow the office timing.
If rare case employees late then we can take consultation with them. May be some issues will be solve by our help.
It is fact that if policy is not cleared then employee take misuse late coming practice.
