Making Call To Female Employee In Night - PDF Download

Has the worker complained about receiving calls in the night? The sex of the worker is immaterial in the days of sex equality.

It all depends on how serious the effect of not finishing the work is and how valuable the worker is. If the worker keeps repeating the same thing, then give her a written warning and replace her if possible; also, assign her some other work that is not critical. You are the best judge of the situation, as we are not privy to all the details.

No one employee or employer, after office hours, completes their personal life. No one can buy the life of another or be independent.

What do you mean by your statement? Isn't an employee supposed to work diligently and complete the work within the given time, or seek help and inform why the work was not completed in order to get paid?

Hi,

Let's look at it another way. Is it not the responsibility of the manager or the boss to ensure that work is completed during working hours instead of contacting employees after working hours? Instead of questioning the employee after they have left the office about why the work was not finished, the manager should ask themselves if they have been successful in their position where they are unable to delegate work effectively to their team. If the manager is unable to have the work completed by their team within the designated time frame, it raises the question of their competence to hold that position, leading them to resort to contacting their team after office hours.

Dear Poonam,

I do not know what position you hold or have held. As a Senior Lecturer, I had the freedom to teach, set assignments, mark, etc. My Faculty Dean did not check how I did my work. I had the liberty not even to go to my university when I did not have a class to teach. However, I was expected and duty-bound to do my work diligently and on time so that my Dean did not receive any complaints from my students or colleagues.

Thus, do not expect the boss to keep prodding a worker in the back all the time to get the work done. In some cases, the span of control is large, and it is unrealistic to expect the boss to have a daily meeting with all the staff before they go home to check the progress of the work.

I would say we should give proper guidelines to each and every employee regarding their work responsibilities. If they are unable to deliver information or fail to accomplish a task, they should inform the respective person before leaving the office. In case of an emergency, they should first seek permission from the employee before asking any questions, like "Is this the right time to talk to you?" or "Will you give me a few minutes to discuss if you are free?" etc.

I do agree with Samvedan.

Dear Praveen,

Try to keep your professional and personal life separate to avoid any potential mishaps.

Corporate life is incredibly competitive, and sometimes work goes on 24/7 in global dealings. Your late night may be working time in a foreign country. An employee (male or female) should be accessible at all times in case of urgency, which involves urgent company matters. The likelihood of people being called at odd hours should be made a key term for certain positions. If the deliverable is of such importance and does not brook delay, then you can call the concerned person. However, the concerned person themselves should have been monitoring the position of the deliverable if it was all that vital.

Having said this, there has to be a healthy segregation of personal time and professional time. As a matter of fact, government employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours.

Personally, I would avoid calling people at odd times if it can be avoided without damage to the organization.

I agree with Simon, Jothi, and Samvedan. Everyone has the responsibility to manage both personal and office work. Office duties should not encroach upon personal time. It's essential to allow employees to focus undisturbed after their working hours.

Thank you.

Well said, Mr. Nathrao.

What is it with focusing solely on females? It's just boring. Kindly, let's not concentrate only on females; both males and females have equal rights. Got it? Now, let's concentrate on the problem.

A call to any employee is acceptable if it is a business or professional call related to the urgency of that particular employee only.

Whenever someone mentions a "FEMALE EMPLOYEE," everyone rushes to solve the problem, resulting in numerous views and replies. Be professional, guys!

If it is mission critical, then the boss or colleague may have a conversation within decent hours, say by 10:00 PM. Otherwise, just text the requirement, hoping that you will get a reply. If it can wait until 9:00 AM the next day, then it makes sense to discuss work-related stuff at work only. Unless, of course, there is sunshine beyond the cloud... But sunshine brings a lot of warmth (heat), and the conversation may lead to perspiration soon enough for both parties involved.
