Hi, I am facing one issue, one of the employee of our company comes late every day half an hour to one hour, so how to deal with that employee even after counseling him he said he cant get up early in the morning what disciplinary action can be taken for him.

Hi,

Being on time to work will help the employee to plan and kick start the work on time.

Hope you had counselled the employee enough. In spite of counselling employee is coming late means find out his actual reason for late whether due to long travel or other reasons ("can't get up early")as quoted by you. If the employee is good in performance try for alternate shift timing. If you don't have any shift option issue warning letter for the employee and inform him for every 3 late comings penalty will be applicable either leave will be deducted or salary.. So once the employee see the impact directly on his salary or leave account automatically he might change his late coming habit.

If there is no late coming policy for the organization, please frame the same or if there is certified standing orders- there may be clause for late coming. Usually most of the organizations have system of 10 minutes late is allowed. If there is more than 10 minutes late then it may be one day leave adjustment against 3 days late coming or deduct salary for the minutes of late coming. Maximum 3 to 5 days late coming in a month is allowed and beyond that the employee should not be allowed to join for duty.

Please immediately issue one strong warning letter stating regular late coming and the rule for late coming. Even after all these if the employee has not been corrected, then issue show cause / charge sheet. After enquiry findings provide him punishment proportionate to the gravity of misconduct ( may be 4 days suspension without pay ). Hope the employee will correct himself by this time and if not issue 2nd show cause or chargesheet, conduct DE and follow all PNJ and then terminate his job.
