Hi Jayana, if an employee is habitual, employer can terminate him with notice period. None of the employers will entertain such employees who is habitually late.

2. You can hang a white board at your work place and start writing 10 names of employee everyday or weekly who is coming on time and those who is coming late.
3. Do start some motivational training progam.
4. Please make sure your highups are ready for this.

dear Preety,
It is advisable to define a policy on misconduct like late reporting and other and should be made a part of service rules of the organisation.
Counseling of the employees in the presence of their HODs must be done and records of these counsellings must be placed in their respective personal files. Warning Letters and advisory memos must be issued to these employees.
You can draft a policy on the lines that employees are to report on duty on the designatyed time and have to be present on their workstations by 09:00AM.
Late reporting upto 10 mins is acceptable in certain circumstances and upto 1hr for max 03 times in a month in extreme emergencies.
Employees reporting late for duties after 0910hrs in excess of 03 times in a month shall be penalised as under:
1) half day casual leave shall be debited from the leave account of the concerned employee for every 03 late coming.i.e if an employee has reported 06 times late that means his leave account shall be reduced by half CL.
2) Due to non availabilty of leaves in hius account his salary me be deducted.
but before proceeding like this, you have to draft a policy on these lines and get it approved by the HR Head and the Top management. In addition, All employees must be made to read this and sign as token of acceptance.
The signed documents from the employees must be preserved in a separate file.
Always think of Principle of Natural Justice and act accordingly.

There is nothing called ethical and unethical in private companies. Employees work like donkeys…. They can not have any say. Employers make their own rules……..HRs are there only to follow the instructions from the top management.

Dear All,
Late comming is a matter of concern for many organisations. The employer has no right to deduct the wages if the employee comes in time i.e on or before 9:00 in this case.
However payment of wages act doesnot cover the wages over a specified salary(Nothing in this Act shall apply to wages payable in respect of a wage-period which, over such wage-period, average one thousand six hundred rupees a month or more)
so please donot go into the legality.
We need to accept the rules and deal accordingly.
