Nowadays, basically every company has a strict attendance and punch-in system. In addition to the system, many companies also try to give employees some special space in order to reflect human nature, such as allowing them to be late twice a month or miss punch-in three times.
Xiaoming's company also implements strict attendance and clocking in, and also stipulates that you can miss punching in three times a month. However, the company also stipulates that if you miss punching in more than three times, you will be counted as one day of leave from the third time.
Last month Xiaoming just missed punching in 4 times, and the salary that arrived at the beginning of the month was indeed 2 days short of wages. Xiaoming felt very aggrieved. He obviously came to work on time on the two days he missed punching in, and he also produced output for the company. It is very unreasonable to have his salary deducted just because he missed punching in.
So Xiaoming went to the company’s HR and hoped that the company would return the money deducted. HR gave a kind explanation, but in the end he could only insist on executing according to the company’s rules and regulations, saying that the system was formulated to be followed, and the company’s system was announced to all employees. Xiaoming also signed the system approval letter. The company was acting according to the system and there was no unreasonable situation.
Xiaoming was still unconvinced. He continued to consult his lawyer friends, and the answer he received was that the company's behavior was unreasonable and unreasonable. As for whether it was legal, this was not stipulated in the law. The requirement was to be implemented in accordance with the company's system. As long as the company's system has relevant provisions and the employees agreed, then the policy is legal and established.
Of course, it is unreasonable and unreasonable for good employees who abide by laws and regulations. I believe everyone will forget sometimes. There will always be times when you forget to clock in a few times a month. So if you forget to clock in and take leave for the third time, your work will be in vain that day. This is indeed unreasonable and unreasonable for employees, because they should receive one day's wages for a day's work.
However, although it is unreasonable and unreasonable, we must also understand the difficulties of enterprises. Why do companies do this?
I think the reason why companies have such regulations is to punish those employees who deliberately goof off by punching in and out, and to prevent these employees from taking advantage of the company's system every day instead of doing serious work. In fact, every company has a few people who deliberately do not abide by the company's attendance system. They are late for no reason every month, are absent from work, and leave early. In the end, when attendance is abnormal, they always deal with it by forgetting to clock in, or with various reasons for going out.
Enterprise systems can only restrain good employees who abide by laws and regulations. Some unreasonable systems are gradually adjusted because of the emergence of employees who do not abide by laws and regulations. In the beginning, the company assumed that employees were actively working hard. However, when various old fools began to appear in the company, measures had to be taken to avoid such risks. It can only be said that good employees will always pay for bad employees. If everyone is dedicated to their job and abides by laws and regulations, why should the company have such a system? Who doesn’t want their employees to work hard.
But I always believe that companies have systems, but they still need to have a certain degree of flexibility. For example, every company now has monitoring systems installed. If someone forgets to clock in, if he can use monitoring to prove for the third time that he was at work all day long, and was not late or left early, then it cannot be counted as a leave. On the contrary, if you cannot prove your presence on the job through these methods, it must be counted as a leave.
A company must have a system, but outside of the system, it must also be humane and people-oriented. It should not just be reflected in words. We hope that all companies can treat their employees with affection and trust their employees. Of course, we also hope that all employees can be loyal to the company and always be grateful.
