Late for work again and you think its okay? Think again. While
some employers may shrug off you coming in late for
work, some may include habitual tardiness as a factor in
terminating your employment.
Sometimes, though, the rules on tardiness and its accompanying
sanctions may be confusing. Consider Andrews
dilemma: I have been reprimanded several times now for arriving
late in the office. The thing is, Im on flexi schedule
so I should be able come in anytime I want. Plus, Im really not
a morning person. Do I have to adjust?
In this weeks Career Coach discussions, our experts share their
insights on the question of punctuality for
employees on flexible schedules.
It depends on the company culture and implemented rules and
regulations, says Beth Miranda-Maik of Sandstone
Technology. In our company, for example, we are on semi flexi
time wherein you can come in anytime before 10am
in the morning. If you come in at 10:01 then you are already
considered as tardy. Sixty minutes of accumulated
tardiness automatically entails a verbal reminder for the first
offense, a written warning on second offense and so on.
In this kind of set up the employee needs to adjust whether or
not he is a morning person. You are usually informed
of time keeping expectations while you were still applying for
the position or during the company orientation period. It
is also supposed to be written in the companys employee handbook
which was furnished to you during your first day
in the company.
Check your contract first before doing anything, advises Melle
Roxas-Pitalgo of iDNet Consulting. If it says in your
contract that youre on flexi-schedule, then may pang-laban ka.
Its best of course if you can make a compromise
regarding your schedule. Maybe if you can have a latest time
that youre allowed to come in. Remember, walang
gusot na hindi maaayos ng mabuting usapan.
The companys Flexi Time Policy should consist of core hours and
flexible hours. says Thessa Mapua of Partners in
Progress Association. Core hours are the designated period of
the day when all employees must be at work. Flexible
hours are the part of the workday when employees may within
limits consistent with the duties and requirements of
their positions choose their time of arrival and departure and
are subject to approval by supervisors or managers.
