Although, absenteeism is sometimes unavoidable and employers also realize this fact, persistent and excessive late-coming can negatively impact the productivity of a company.

Policy
• To manage attendance in an organization, it is important to have a unambiguous leave policy and PTO (Paid time-off) policy defined and easily accessible by the employees.
Application
• A leave application guideline should be used, according to which an employee should personally talk to their managers about their leave.
Approval
• The managers listen to the reason and approve the leave if possible, else if leave could not be approved, the managers personally tell the employees about how the employee’s non attendance will affect the company.

A detailed attendance record of attendance should be maintained for employees. These records are useful in managing employee time and also for planning purposes.
Sometimes, genuine issues (employee home responsibilities) can be identified if an employee is late regularly but is otherwise committed.
To track hourly attendance and to stop buddy punching and managing time theft, biometric devices can be used to track the attendance of employees.
The biometrics time clocks are the best ways to track the time of hourly workers.
These should be integrated with live reporting and regularization for effective management
