If you have ever had an employee arrive late for work, you are certainly not alone. While there is a multitude of reasons why someone might experience an unforeseen delay, the professional expectation is that it does not become habitual. So what do you do when absenteeism becomes a frequent issue with one of your employees?

Dear PREHR,
There is a difference between late coming and remaining absent. Both are different concepts. It appears that you have confused between the two. Please remove this confusion.
Secondly, lot of discussion has happened on this forum on late coming to the office or remaining absent. You may refer that.
Lastly, what is the nature of your business? How many employees work in your office? Does the late coming impact customer satisfaction or any other office work? Is there any scope of flexi-hours? Have you done the analysis of the late coming? How many employees come late? What about managers? Do managers remain within lines of discipline or the malaise of late coming is across the board? What about the top most person of the office? Does he/she comes in time?
Please clarify on the above questions.
Thanks,

Look into the conduct of the management for answers. What the administration is doing all along when employees are coming late till it became a habit? B.Saikumar HR & Labour law Advisor,

Addressing this sort of issue is easy one:
- Analyse late coming
- Analyse their performance
- Talk to the concerned people regarding their reasons for coming late, see if there's any alternative you can suggest to them
- Frame a policy on late coming: like give grace time, after certain time limit one marked late, 3 late marks contributes to half day (which is then considered as LOP, even if you have leave balance) 4th late mark onwards 1/4th so on.... leniency and stringency about this matter all depends on you
Lastly if nature of your business demands performance than completing certain number of hours then give weightage purely to that and offer option of flexi hours. If things still accounts to be poor then framing policies and its reinforcement is always at discretion of senior management and HR.

Hello Dinesh Divekar,
This looks more like an academic query than any reference to a real-time situation.
The opening line itself 'seems' to be a giveaway.
@PREHR--
Picking from your own posting/query 'While there is a multitude of reasons....', there is a multitude of reasons for such a situation & it's plain elementary that the background of the query is given while asking for comments of the members of this Forum.
