Hi, I am Pooja Siwan. I am working at Caria Electronic Technology Pvt Ltd. I have to create a reward and punishment policy for all employees. With 1000 employees in the factory, I kindly request guidance on this matter in accordance with rules and regulations. Additionally, I need assistance in developing policies regarding leaves and tardiness.

Dear Pooja,

If you are from a manufacturing company that employs 1,000+ employees, then you must have standing orders approved by the competent authorities from the labor department. Therefore, you do not have to make a policy over and above the standing orders. The action(s) taken under the provision(s) of the standing orders are valid.

The policy on rewards and recognition needs to be customized according to the nature of your business. Qualitative, as well as quantitative contributions, must be taken into account. However, designing a customized policy would require the study of the operations, systems, and processes of the various departments of your company. What is applicable to other companies may not be applicable to you.

Thanks,

Dear Madam,

I would like to share some general thoughts on your query.

You need to frame this comprehensive policy which has to align and integrate with the values of the organization, well-laid-down legal principles on punitive aspects, proven principles, and practices of reward and recognition. Besides, the policy needs to address the organization-specific needs and what the end results to be achieved are.

It is, therefore, the job of an expert professional, and it will be difficult to offer any worthwhile suggestions in the absence of the above.

The punitive policy, apart from being highly compliant-oriented on legalities, must embed progressive disciplining principles and proven practices. It is particularly of great importance to the 'Workmen' category out of 1000 total complement.

For introducing a fair and equitable reward and recognition policy, you need to have measurements for 'Standard performance' for all the categories of employees across the board. The performance above the level of the standard is what generally is sought to be rewarded/incentivized. Moreover, the performance which can be regarded as 'beyond the call of duty' also needs to be clearly stated and ranked for reward.

To frame this policy, one needs to know the classification and distribution of the total employees - Managerial, Executives, Supervisory, and workmen to determine scope, applicability, and type of reward/punishment.

Hope the above will act as trigger thoughts and help you to move forward.
