ATISHOR CAREER JOURNALLate attendance and salary deduction: what professionals should verifyLearn · Apply · Grow
Useful professional knowledge becomes valuable when it changes what you do next. This guide is designed to be read, reflected on and applied.
Start with records, policy and applicable law
Attendance decisions should be based on accurate time records, the employment terms, an approved policy and the law that applies to the workplace.
A familiar organisational practice is not automatically a lawful or fair one. HR and management should verify the current legal basis before making a deduction.
Questions to document
A consistent review process protects both the employee and the organisation.
- How much working time was actually missed?
- What does the approved attendance policy state?
- Was the employee notified and allowed to clarify the record?
- Has the rule been applied consistently?
- Has a qualified professional checked the current legal requirement?
