Attendance and Punctuality Guidelines

The standard workweek schedule for all teams is as follows:

The Dedicated Resources/ Employees working out of Client offices at various locations are requested to follow the work timings and schedule as per the client office guidelines. Any changes in the client schedule should be informed to the HR Team. 

Work days and Weekly offs will be as per client allocation/deployment (Monday to Friday or Monday to Saturday).

A full work day is considered only when you work for 9 hours starting from your stipulated time and half day will be considered only when you work for 5.5 hours/ less (excluding the lunch/food break) starting from your stipulated time. Saturday’s full day working will be considered on completion of 7 hours.

In an event of absence or tardiness from an assigned work schedule, the employee is required to report the absence to the concern authorities. When reporting absence, the employee must E-mail / Telephone/ SMS/ WhatsApp his or her supervisor and any HR representative only. The employee must call within two hours of scheduled start time.

An employee’s absence will be deemed unexcused when an employee fails to call in, gives a late notice, fails to give advance notice for an absence which could be anticipated, exceeds the number of length of absences as defined by policy or authorized in advance by the Supervisor or HR. Unexcused/ uninformed absentees are subject to corrective disciplinary action.

Location Heads/ Supervisors / Leads / Clients (wherever applicable), in the respective location are requested to be alert and report us of any absence or tardiness of employees in their respective locations.

This is applicable for all instances like (Forgot to Clock In or Clock out – online or biometric)
• For any biometric registration, not happening/ reflecting there is a backend file which captures your attendance for the day irrespective if it does not get synced with the Online System. The same shall be referred for the correction and time reference.
• If still in doubts, accountability, approval from the Supervisor keeping __________on CC will be taken.
