Dear Sushma,

Give them an oral warning. Even after this, if late comings are not stopped, then display a notice on the notice board mentioning that late coming till ___ minutes are allowed. If anyone comes late more than the above-mentioned times, their half-day attendance will be marked as LWP. You can also give them a warning letter regarding their late coming.

Thank you,
Sushma

We are using an electronic punch card system, so employees have to punch the card before 9 am; otherwise, it will result in a red mark on the card. If an employee is late three times in a week, a day's leave will be deducted. If there are five instances of lateness in a month, further disciplinary action will be taken.

While the system is effective, it has led to increased tension in the office.

Hi Everyone,

I think that the suggestions that you people are giving are quite harsh. According to me, you should follow the below-mentioned ways. You will see that your employees are coming on/before time. Also, these ideas will help you to reduce absenteeism as well. Ideas include monetary and non-monetary solutions.

Many companies have also experienced this problem, and we have developed measures to bring it down, succeeding to a large extent but not 100%.

1. You can introduce a cash award (Rs100-150) scheme along with an appreciation letter for the workmen who do not have any LOP's during that year, and you can give them this on the eve of 26th Jan every year.

2. It has yielded results. Alternatively, you can introduce a 3-year cash award (Rs300/-) per workman who does not have any LOP during the 3 years. The strength is increasing as well.

3. You can give a silver article on the eve of 26 Jan and have their name displayed, along with the awarded photo, in the gallery for those employees who have not availed any CL, SL, EL, PL, etc.

4. Lastly, you can adopt various counseling measures for him/her and his/her family members, with the help of the union.

Further, what you can do is, just apply these ways not only on absebteeism but also/only on late comings. Regards, Shweta

Hi,

I have gone through all the suggestions to stop late coming to the office. I agree with the suggestion of rewarding employees for arriving on time. However, I have another suggestion that has already been practiced in one of my friend's offices in Gurgaon. It's a Kaizen concept. They do not take any punitive action for lateness. The only requirement for a latecomer (including my friend) is to write their name on a large blackboard placed near the main entrance. At the top of the blackboard, it's written in Hindi, 'Aaj mein late aaya hoon.' That's all! This approach has been highly effective. Latecomers voluntarily write their names on the board before entering the office. No words are spoken to them. Believe me, now they rarely see a name on the board.

Thanks,
Ashok
