sir,
if an employee who are posted in ministers office or other sr. officer came late and due to work leave the office too late is he treated as absent?
VAP says
First of all, one would say that this is the gift to the Delhi voters, a major chunk of central govt employees, who voted for a change. What an irony that lakhs of people are sleeping without a roof in our country. 1000 of acres of public land has been encroached by unscrupulous elements. Politicians and political parties are unauthorizedly occupying govt bungalows and no action…… The Elected representatives are allotted sprawling bungalows nearby the offices. They are provided with good number of post modern cars with drivers on demand at 24 x 7 on public expenses. En-number of servants for each work. Where as major portion of Govt employees are coming from far ends of the city totally dependent on public transport. The statistics says 25 Lakh vehicles are running on Delhi roads. Metro is the only relief which is also getting overcrowded day by day. And what more, there has always been a dual standard in the timings of parliament and govt offices. Working time of parliament is 11.00 AM to 06.00PM where as the timing of govt offices is 09.00 AM to 05.30PM. People expected rectification of all such anomalies from the dynamic new govt through the agenda of good governance and not the old outdated gimmicks of checking attendance registers. No doubt punctuality is to be maintained but not by adopting one sided stringent measures but by adopting impartial uniform standards for all institutions including parliament and ofcourse introducing flexy timing as has been recommended by the 6th pay commission.

Sir kindly consider 90 minutes late attendance per month & if exceeds the limit one day CL should be withhold for every 30 minutes late reporting of duties .
This is just for comments only.

Honorable Sir/Madam
Kindly provide a system of issuing Aadhaar based revised pension payment order with 14 digit PPO number (computerised system for tracking of pension payments through nationalised banking)

Mr. Jitender. Go by 5 or 10 minutes late, that’s all.
JITENDER says
if an employee comes late by 05 or 10 minutes, what will be there.
vks says
This very very important much needed necessity for goverment employees. There are umpteen number of goverment staff who never comes to office or late comers or leave their office early. This will be the first step for reduction of corruption and will reduce at least 20% corruption
Mahendra Pal Singh says
DOPT should not bring stress in the life of Central employees. For employees staying in NCR, reaching office exactly on 9 and leaving at 5:30 adds to traffic burden , chaos and stress. Govt can always adopt flexible working hours and fixed public dealing hours like in private sector. Each employee should complete his fixed working hours within certain time frame. This will give employees ease of commuting. A relaxed working atmosphere with good infrastructure adds to the efficiency of employees. There is difference in extracting work from slaves and intellect minds. Govt should also focus on improved infrastructure, work monitoring system and incentive system for enhancing productivity of employees. Making employees reach office on time under strenuous conditions with no time window will not improve output but will only increase health burden of the Govt.
G.S. Prasad says
Sir,
Infrastructure also needs to be improved before punctuality is imposed. As some government servants voluntarily reach office early and after 8.5 hours leave early to avoid rush hour traffic both the sides. These workers should be given relaxation and not treated as early leavers.
Rabindranath Rana says
Besides introducing different methods for checking late comers, Govt should review workload of each post because light workload of some posts is a major factor encouraging people for late attendance.
