Hello Mehwish, I commend your desire to avoid financial punishments. Having a written and well-communicated policy is one thing – and very important. Changing people’s behavior is another thing. The key person in making this successful is the frontline supervisor. When there is a late arrival, the supervisor will need to meet face-to-face with the employee and find out why the person is late and to help that person overcome any barriers to arriving early. This is not a soft approach, because if the person continues to arrive late after assistance is given, the supervisor will need to begin the formal disciplinary process. During this all-important discussion, the supervisor will need to impress on the employee the importance of their on-time arrival and how late arrival impacts the organization.
The other aspect is employee engagement. Absenteeism is low in those organizations where employees find their work fulfilling and challenging, can see the big picture, have a personal relationship with their supervisor, is supplied with the appropriate resources to do the job well, and so on and so on. All of these factors depend on the capabilities and attitude of the supervisor. Having a purely punitive approach without tending to the factors that lead to work satisfaction will have, at best, a short-term positive impact.

Hello,
Please see the attached for the details regarding the attendance policy that is followed in my company.
I never support financial penalisation as a measure to control absenteeism.
We can make a flexi work timing and can put the late comers in different shifts on a rotational basis, to check which shifts they are comfortable in.
Direct face to face interaction with the immediate reporting boss could also unfold the plausible causes for which he/she is not being able to make it at the right time.
Thanx and regards,
