Attendance and Punctuality
Attendance and Punctuality refers to the duty of public officers to report for work as scheduled, remain on duty for the approved hours, and account properly for lateness, absence, and early departure.
Operational rule
In the public service, attendance is a compliance issue as much as a productivity issue. Departments are expected to maintain attendance controls, require timely notification when an officer cannot attend, and escalate repeated breaches through the proper supervisory and disciplinary channels.
Why it matters
Attendance and punctuality directly affect salary deductions, overtime integrity, leave administration, and misconduct investigations. Weak controls in this area quickly create audit and employee-relations problems.
