In order to maintain strict discipline in the organization, employees of all levels should mark their attendance and departure times through a punch-card system. There should be no relaxation of rules even for senior executives. Furthermore, disciplinary actions should be taken against those who are habitually late attendants to set examples for others on the consequences of such indiscipline.

You have misunderstood that for 3 late comings, there will be a one-day salary cut. It is not so. For 3 late comings, one day leave will be debited in the leave account of such late-coming employees. Thus, such an employee would lose one day leave in his account. If such a debit is not possible due to non-availability of leave in his account, then the salary can be cut therefor. This is the correct position.

Hi, Ms. Ruth!
Please check your company policy on attendance and timekeeping administration.
On a related matter, managers are normally given the privilege to arrive late. This is based on the premise that they sometimes, if not always, stay late as well. Additionally, managers are compensated not only for their physical presence but also for their managerial skills, such as their ability to lead, plan, organize, motivate, and control their teams. They are also on call at any time.
Thanks, and I hope this information helps.

Dear Hosmani,
More than three days late (continuously) shall be taken seriously, and HR has the authority to issue a show-cause notice to that employee. After three show-cause notices, the employer has the right to terminate the employee.

Dear Mr. Hosmani,
You have made a mistake according to your company's rules, so you should not compare with others. However, discrimination is illegal as per the law. If you need any evidence, you may challenge their deduction.

Ruth,
I prefer my HR to send notice if I don't complete my 40 hours of work (if 5 working days) and I love my HR to focus on all other problems that are currently there in my facility than focus on when I enter the facility.
Yes, when all employees come to their own time, there will be a coordination problem. In our company, we have it like this:
Business Hours: 9 AM-6 PM
Core Business Hours: 10 AM - 5 PM
It is advised to all to plan any meeting/conference calls during core business hours.
Also, we need to punch in 9 hours of work daily including 1.5 hours as break (lunch and two breaks).
Our HR just tracks whether we achieve the 45 hours of time punch not what time I came to the facility.
Most of the employees come even before 9 and leave by 5, and almost all will be in the facility by 10 AM.
This gives some leniency to employees and also employees will be productive. I believe when you touch the salary of an employee for being 10 minutes late, I think you are unearthing another ghost named attrition because no one likes that way.
This is just my thought.

Hi Ruth,
Whatever you are doing, time management is crucial. Article 14 states "equal before the law," so executives/senior executives or any employer should be equal in terms of time management. As an HR professional, provide information to latecomers and offer three chances with a notice. After that, share latecomer details with a form for deduction information and strictly implement it during salary processing; this will automatically correct their timings. Start by addressing the attendance of Heads of Departments who are late and issue deduction notices. Ensure that this information is communicated to all employees and employers to gradually reduce latecomers. I have implemented this and achieved positive results. Best of luck to you. There is no need for any legal laws; it is solely about maintaining discipline among associates.
Best regards,

This practice could be reduced by managerial approaches like conducting pep talks in person, meetings, and notice boards. I never believe in high-school type punishments as such activities tend to bring about drastic dramas instead of corrective measures. However, at the same time, it is absolutely a punishable mistake when an organization provides accommodation or the staff's house is located within reachable distance.

Dear Ruth,
Though there is no separate legal law on late arrivals, you may create a Standing Order as per the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, and have it approved by the certifying officer. The penalties and procedures may be established as suggested by our other colleagues. Am I correct? Any comments, seniors?!
