The central government has issued strict rules to deal with the lateness of its employees. Warning of strict action against the central government employees who habitually come late and leave the office early, the center has said that these actions of those who habitually come late and leave the office early will be taken seriously.
The government took this step when it was found in the case of many employees that they were not registering their attendance in the Aadhaar based biometric attendance system (AEBAS). Whereas, there were some employees who were coming late on a regular basis. In the circular issued by the central government, it has been said that it is necessary for all employees to have Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System. Right now many employees are not applying biometric attendance daily. The reason behind this is that employees reach office late and leave for home early.
Now live location detection and… can start soon
In an order issued by the Personnel Ministry, it has been advised that mobile phone-based face authentication system should be used so that live location detection and geo-tagging can be done.
What are the current rules, what is the advice to do…
This order states that strict action can be initiated against defaulters under the current rules. All central employees have been asked to mark attendance regularly through AEBAS with immediate effect. Citing the current rules, the ministry says that half-day CL should be deducted for each day of late arrival, but the authority can consider coming late by up to one hour (up to twice in a month). Apart from cutting CL, disciplinary action can also be taken.
It has been clarified in this order that the departments of those employees who do not mark their attendance will have to download the report from the portal so that such employees can be identified who are not marking their attendance. It will be the responsibility of the department to ensure that they mark their attendance.
