Does your Office Charge any Penalty if you are late to work?

That's good. I hope that when it comes to the efficiency and performance at work, there is no compromise. Else sooner or later, the business would suffer. Professionalism is must at work place. Is your husband boss to other employees too? How do they take this preference given to you?I am lucky because my boss is my husband, so it does not matter if I am late for work.
I am the only employee, so there is no problem with my colleagues. because I do not have any. We both work hard until late at night. We just have flexible working hours.
When I worked for a company and was late I was not fined, I was just asked why I was late, and given educational punishments such as sweeping and cleaning the company's yard for a few minutes.
Some workers actually take advantage of this flexibility when it comes to their workplace is not being too strict on timing when they resume their jobs and it's not the right thing to do.
That's an unfortunate thing. But sadly many do that. Every benefit that's been given to employees can be misused by them. Sad that people don't listen to their conscience and do such things. But then corporates have to think of a bigger picture and take care of the whole employee community.
I can imagine how fun this kind of work can be. For me, I won't be able to do this kind of work efficiently. It would take great discipline from the couple for this to work out.
I understand. Well, we arrange our daily schedule and we try to follow it as much as possible.
Any outward imposition does not work for too long. Over a period of time, people find some loophole to escape from such impositions. Employees have to love their work and workplace. That would lead them to have inner motivation to be punctual and effective at work
I agree with you. This is the point. Employees should love their work and respect their workplace.
Thank you for agreeing with me. We see that employers keep coming up with the policies and benefits to keep their employees happy at workplace. Happy employees are productive employees. But unfortunately, many employees start abusing those benefits. Inner discipline and motivation can be encouraged but not imposed.
You are right. I think that employees should respect their employers and do their best at work. And, of course, employers should appreciate the work of their employees.
Of course yes. Different organizations have different ways of disciplining their staff depending on the nature of offence.At my place of work, lateness may attract a warning penalty for the first time.Three warnings with the same mistake before three month will be a summery dismissal.
I agree there. It's a two way thing. When there are two parties involved, they both have to be respectful and considerate about each other. When there is a good mutual understanding, things go smoothly and each one benefits from each other.
I have left at least two organisations because of lateness charges. I don't like that approach to human resource management. I don't charge my staff on my business.
