Overview

The Attendance & Working Hours Policy regulates the physical or digital presence of employees. It covers work timings, break durations, shift rotations, and the methods for recording attendance (biometric, portal, or manual).

Businesses need this to maintain discipline and ensure that projects are adequately staffed during business hours. It is critical for calculating salary, especially for roles that involve shift differentials or overtime pay.

Legally, this policy ensures that the company adheres to maximum working hour limits set by Indian labor laws. It covers risks related to wage-and-hour disputes and ensures that the company has a documented record of employee time-on-task.
