Dear All,
This act fully depends on how his immediate supervisor is going to react. If he is not going to question him, then it will not become an issue. No one else in the company can question an employee without informing his immediate supervisor. Not even an HR person can do so. Only his immediate supervisor knows how much work that particular employee has done before he had slept. To punish or not has to be decided by the immediate supervisor, and definitely, it's not misconduct.

Hello Mr. Ravikiran Ivturi,
Sleeping during the lunch break is acceptable, but not in the working area. One can rest at the restroom or in the dining hall only during lunchtime.
Thank you,

Hey, it's not misconduct, but one must not sleep on their desk. The person must avail restroom facility because sleeping on the desk may give a negative and sleepy sensation to the person sitting next, and their productivity will be affected. Thanks

I think, if he can take rest out of his work place, as normally work place of a worker is near machine and his napping near machine could be a safety issue.

I don't think that it's misconduct as the lunch break is a time when an employee can do whatever he wants. If he is not violating the contract or harming the company's assets in any way, it can't be called misconduct. It's his time; let him use it the way he wants. If sleeping is not interfering with his performance during work hours, it should be okay and not a problem.

Interesting! I would rather my employee sleep, rather than trying to be awake and not working. I guess the library or any other quiet place in the office is ideal for a power nap, especially during lunch hours, as the employee is then utilizing his/her time efficiently.
The fact is the employee also knows that he/she will be observed by others and only does so if they are majorly sleep deficient. If the employee is not feeling well or is seriously sleep deprived, an hour or so of rest will not hurt the employer. Productivity might increase after the employee is refreshed. The question is, if this behavior is frequent, what is the reason.

Well, if the office is closed, he may sleep at his desk; if some are functioning, it's not proper to sleep in the office.
Question should have been as below: Can sleeping in/during lunch break be considered misconduct? or Is sleeping in/during lunch break considered misconduct? This is the second thread in today's newsletter with "Can" & "Is." Just thought to tell you, I am not a scholar in English though.
