I faced the same problem a few years back. I analyzed it in a different manner and tried to find out why they are sitting for long hours. The reasons I found are astonishing. Two to three guys are staying back for client interactions, three more who are going along with them are staying back, three more to make any changes as per client requirements, and a few more who are going along with them. Additionally, a few more are staying back just to take advantage of coming late and enjoy internet and long chats. You won't believe, the amount of productive work was very low.

Then, I discussed the same with my management and scheduled two guys for the night shift and asked everyone else to come on time and leave on time. I think it worked out. The company grew to 500 staff now. Well, try it, who knows. But first, analyze the problem not the employees. Solve their issues; deducting their salaries will only increase the problems.

Good luck

Hello,

It is a nice conversation, but I have a few more queries regarding this:

1. What about the security issue? Since these people are staying back, in case of an accident, will the organization be responsible?

2. If the organization has flexible working hours, can they deduct latecoming from the salary?

Kindly clarify the same.

Thank you.
