Purpose
This policy states how late arrival is measured against the shift start, how a grace allowance operates where the employer grants one, and what follows from repeated lateness.
Its purpose is consistency rather than punishment. Lateness handled by a written rule applies identically to everyone; lateness handled by a manager's judgement does not, and is noticed.
Who it applies to
Employees working to a defined shift or start time.
What you write into it
These are the numbers the platform will enforce mechanically once you set them. Getting them right on paper first is the whole exercise, the system will apply whatever you write, consistently, to everyone.
- How lateness is measured, and from which reference time
- Whether a grace allowance is granted, and of what length
- Over what period late marks accumulate
- What consequence attaches at each threshold
What HRMagix records
Attendance and leave disputes are always about a specific person on a specific date. These are the records that answer that question.
- Grace periods are configured per policy and applied automatically to every punch
- Late marks accumulate against the configured rule rather than a manager's recollection
- Auto shift detection assigns each punch to the correct shift, including across midnight
Where the rules themselves live
No grace window, threshold or quota appears above. Those are the numbers the employer sets and the modules enforce, and they are stated in the approved document rather than approximated here. Read HRMAGIX001 in full.
