Query Related To Late Coming And Not Submitting Leave Applications

Respected Seniors,
I m working for a manufacturing firm as a HR Officer, I just wanted some help regarding above mentioned topic..
Most of the staff in our office have habit of coming late and not submitting leave application when they are on leave.
even in case of an emergency leave they do not submit application the next day in spite of giving instructions
Plz help guys

For every three late comings...one should deduct salary equivalent to half-day of working. Three uninformed leave can call for a disciplinary action...and repeated behavior leads to termination.

Hi ,
I also Agree with sanjeev, but before implement this rule or policy, talk to your employee politely and make them clear about the new rule and regulation, and also discuss with your snr. management to implement this policy.
Best of Luck
Meetu :)

thank u Mr Sanjeev thank u Ravita and Thank u meetu for your suggestions I appreciate u Guys...
Meetu i completely agree with you, we have done this several times but no proper action has been taken since 6 months
MR sanjeev i ll surely try to follow what u have said above

take this slow.
Do you have a pass system at security/gate to monitor the staff movement/time?. first keep a track of this for a month and calculate the total mandays lost due to this. intimate the senior management along with your calculations and findings about its impact and need to check this issue. then you must first get a new policy approved by management on this and then implement accordingly.

In line with advice given by seniors above, if this problem is severe, first issue a circular giving all relevant leave application rules i.e. CL, PL etc. and then ask everyone's compliance for the rules.
This will make your side clear that you have taken preliminary steps to solve the problem in relatively easy way.
Observe for few days if response is positive, if not, declare with your management's permission that for any habitual late coming / non-submission of leave applications within a specified time, it will directly be co-related to the the `disciplinary' behavioural criteria in everyone's appraisal and will have direct impact on monetary gains.
Hope this helps you.

Vaishalee Parkhi

Dear Neitzsche82 yes we do have pass system m little bit confused about how to find mandays lost and how to calculate for the same.I ll be glad if u can make it more clear for me to understand.
Thank you very much for ur suggestion

Dear Vaishalee
Since i have joined this firms I have issued circulars regarding this 5-6 times I don't think any of the employee takes it seriously
Neither anyone is interested to come on time nor to submit leave applications

Imperfect leave rules and defective Conduct and Discipline Rules are the basic cause of such type of irregularities on the part of employees.

I guess Vaishalee has summed up everything.
Unions [if they exist will raise objections] etc.
First

Inculcate FOLLOWing
Educate POLICY Breaking
Enforce Express intention
Educate Policy Breaking is too much to tolerate, all abve been given adequate chance to rectify. Even if this is not enough
