- Work timings of all members in a company must be as uniform as possible. In the initial days of the company, we may be very flexible. So, we may have allowed different people to come and go at different timings.
- But as the company grows, this flexibility results into a very confusing time schedules of various members in a team. E.g. in a workplace where the regular time is from 9 am to 6 pm, some person is “allowed” to come at 10 or 11 and sit late.
- Such type of discrepancies must be avoided as far as possible.
- Keep the timings uniform for everybody and insist that people come on time.
- In factory setup if there are work shifts, the timings are automatically uniform for all workers and their supervisors. The similar uniformity must be established for the office staff also.
- If different people come and go at different times, a lot of communication and coordination issues arise. This can only be avoided by uniform timings.
- For the staff members to come on time, it is necessary that the boss himself comes on or before that time. Otherwise, he can never establish punctuality and discipline in the team.
- In companies where the physical presence of the employee is not very important, flexi-time or “work from home” may be allowed. But, such facilities require high levels of systems and processes which ensure proper tracking of work. So, this is possible within a matured setup where the employees are given clear targets and deadlines to complete some work and don’t need physical supervision or monitoring.
- There are some guidelines regarding maximum working hours and timings in labor and employment related laws. They also impose some restrictions on timings for women and physically challenged workers. We must study the rules applicable to us and abide by them.
