Hi,
I am working in an IT company in the HR department. I always face a problem in managing the attendance of our seniors (managers, senior managers, department heads). We have CL and EL applicable in our company, but as is common, seniors take time off whenever they want or come in after the designated time. When I prepare the attendance, I always encounter issues in adjusting for this.
Please suggest how to handle these kinds of situations.
Regards

Dear Pooja,
Please talk to your reporting head on the attendance policy. You need to be clear if your organization requires everyone irrespective of level be present within the premises for a definite number of hours.
Incase the org doesn't there is little that you can do, than just marking them present. Companies that are into research or product development often follow this structure for the senior level. It's a benefit offered in exchange of their high stress job.
Based on what your reporting says, form a minimum number of hours and if they don't qualify, before sending the data to the payroll, please confirm their attendance with their reporting heads.
Please do revert if you have further queries.

Thanks for your reply. However, apart from CL/EL, they generally take 3-4 days of leave for personal work. In such cases, should I mark them as present? Please suggest what measures I should consider when managing the attendance of seniors according to all company norms.

Dear Pooja,
Further to the excellent suggestion given by (Cite Contribution) in response to your recent query, I would suggest that you do not assume "they generally take 3-4 days off for personal work." Since more information about your organization, business activities, and hierarchy is not provided, I would suggest that it may be possible that your seniors have been working outside on several projects for your company, which may be well-known to the senior management.
One cannot imagine that frequent absences of 3-4 days can go unnoticed by the management. There is a greater possibility that there is no system for informing the HR. Before processing salary or sending attendance data, kindly confirm the facts with them or their senior/reporting authorities to avoid getting into trouble in your eagerness to enforce discipline.
Warm regards.
