A main focus in my workplace at the moment is cracking down on lateness as certain colleagues massively take the piss and regularly turn up 30-45 mins late with no reason (most of the time they’ve been out drinking or gambling the night before)
One of the men that I work with was 12 minutes late for work the other day. He had childcare issues which he sorted and got to work as quickly as possible. He is never usually late (he is not one of the ones that gamble or go out on a weeknight) Because of this lateness, our hr department have told him that they will be putting it through as time off as a holiday... but a full hours worth of holiday time rather than the time he did take.
Is this actually something that they are allowed to do? No where in our contracts does it say that this will be a consequence of lateness, just the usual about disciplinary action.
We’ve been told (informally) that the upper management will be having a meeting to discuss changes to the lateness policy (the docking of holiday included) but can they implement a policy prior to making all staff members fully aware of this?
