Dear Sonal
Firstly we need to know that the employees are going on PLANNED LEAVE or UNPLANNED LEAVE. If they are going on unplanned leave then it is clear that it was disturbing the work flow. Make an policy which clearly states that if any employee want to go on a leave he should plan it and let the management know about it well in advance so that you guys can plan the work to completed by then.
We are following the same thing in our company and its been very beneficiary
Thanks

Dear Sonal,
Please make a leave policy which says that "all vacations and sick leaves needs will be accrued in an monthly basis", which means that if you decided to give your employees 12 days of Vacation Leave in a year, every month that they work, they would accrue 1 day of VL. Same rule will apply for SLs. Also mention as a part of the leave policy that all vacation leaves needs to be applied atleast 3 weeks in advance and needs to be pre-approved by their respective manager.
If the number of days that an employee is absent from office exceeds that number of leaves (VL + SL) available to him in a particular month, the rest of the days would be treated as "Unpaid leave of absence". Once you start docking their pay for unscheduled leaves, you will see that the number of unscheduled leave of absence will reduce significantly.
Good Luck

Thank you so much for all your suggestions and advice i have tried everything here but the employees are not interested in anything they are just interested in getting the salaries and doing the work, well they take approvals from their HOD's and then they go for leaves , i hope this will not be the case from January, mine is a media company, of course i am reading shaswata..

Dear Sonal,
You can't do anything unless the top management agrees with the action.
You have to recruit people as a back-up. Give training. Meantime you create new company policy, which you can include leave also. It should state the leave entitilement per month. Jan - 2 leaves
Feb - 2 leaves etc. etc.
If any employee take more, give warning. If gross misconduct, sack at least one employee. See the result, others will be in line.
If employees are not working regularly, what is the use of that employees in your organisation. Tell good bye to them one by one. At least, others will be in line.
No need for going more & more policies, procedures etc. etc. as you don't have much employees.
Thanks.

Dear Narashimhan
The working hours in a week is 48 hours and the rest hour/lunch/tea breaks will not be taken in to account for calculating the working hours. Always working hours means it will have lunch hour or tea break even in office or in factory. Hence it may be 20 minutes of 3 times or 30 minutes of 2 times or 1 hour lunch break. Hence working hours 09:00 am to 06:00 pm (Lunch Break from 1:00 to 2:00 pm) is also accepted.

Hello Narashimhan,
Working only 8 hours. you can have 1 hour lunch, half an hour tea break and additional half an hour another break. But spread over not moare than 10 hours.
you can have 6 days of working i.e. 6 x 8 hours = 48 hours. lunch breaks you can give extra.
Thanks.

Dear all
I think Sonal got a lot of suggestions to handle their employees.
Management as every body knows is to manage the people, one of the function ... like retaining them and as a last resort firing them and others as laid down by the management Gurus.
Sonal has to hold a communication meeting telling the importance of the job they are doing,appreciating their work and how the absence would cause damage to their fame, which is not good to their career.
Every month take the statistics of the presence and award the highly present people with a litle monetary award be it 100/- or 500/-or as you feel the good in a communication meeting.
Call the person who is least present seperatly into your cabin and give him a warning, continue this for 2 months,third month issue a letter. If he has not come into the line, show him the gate.(Note:If the person is taking more number of leaves than given to him, then only you have to resort to this method.) Mean while make arrangements for the new person as per ur policy. this is to tell others that comapny is capalbe of taking any actin aganist indicipline.
please involve your management in all the process mentioned above.
Leave policy, working protocol are all in the posts given here you can pick from them.
Only one comment on the statement made by our colleague Mr Kumar ss "Availing Leave is not a Right"
This should not be the attitude of the management. If so why Management/Factory laws is providing Leaves particularly to Employees.
