When we have an apprentice, one of our responsibilities apart from imparting skills is to also impart the ethical values that would help them succeed in the trade in the future.

For an apprentice that comes to the shop late, what do you think is the appropriate punishment to give to deter him or her from coming to shop late?

In my place, such an apprentice is always told to kneel down at the roadside beside the shop for some time. The embarrassment would serve as deterrent.

As the business owners they are supposed to have set the rules and regulations for dealing with such irregularities.

The best thing as the business manager should punish the given person accordingly to the disciplinary measures set for the business.

You would have to punish the person according to the laid down rules of the business. This will deter others.

He or she needs to have a sanction from the company. Or, he or she needs to be given a writeup.

A friend of mine that has a tailoring shoo disciplines his apprentices by telling them to stay late after close of work. That checks their late coming activities.

I think it is a good idea. They need to compensate the time of being late. In my country, business establishments will deduct it from their salaries.

As soon as a business starts getting apprentices, they should set up a structure to manage some of these things. Appropriate punishment should be for stuff like this should be instituted in the structure and enforced head on.

I will not mind if it is first time or second time offense, if this becomes regular I will warn.

The apprentice might have to stay outside of them workstation for about an hour before he or she comes in for the day's activities.

You should give them a day or two off without payment for the case of the punishment.

I think it depends, I do not have an apprentice, but over here some persons do make their apprentice sit or kneel outside for some time before they bring them in.

Staffs that tend to be very lazy and seem to sleep on the job, they should be punished accordingly.

Just send him or her to the back of the shop to stay there for three hours while work is going on.
