Off late, I have noticed that the employees in my office have been stepping out of the office on different pretexts - to smoke, buy snacks, for personal work, etc. I am looking for a format of a letter I could write instructing/requesting the employees to refrain from carrying on with such practice. Ours is a corporate office with less than 50 employees and no security guard.
Dear Team,
It has come to my attention that there has been a noticeable trend of employees leaving the office premises for various reasons such as smoking breaks, purchasing snacks, and attending to personal matters. As a corporate office with a small team of fewer than 50 employees and lacking a security guard, it is crucial that we maintain a level of professionalism and security within our workspace.
I kindly request all employees to refrain from leaving the office without prior authorization, except during designated break times. This practice not only disrupts workflow but also poses security risks to our office premises. Your cooperation in adhering to this guideline is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,

Dear friend,
Are you empowered to make decisions in this regard? What kind of work are you and your colleagues doing in the office, mainly administrative tasks?
Do you have an official tea time schedule during working hours? If not, consider implementing one, perhaps with a 10-minute break. For any violations, issue individual memos with a warning that half a day's leave will be deducted. Check for any relevant clauses in your Standing Orders, if applicable. If none are in place, consider drafting a model Standing Order to address such matters.
Thank you.
