Govt warns of action against its staff for tardiness

The Centre has warned of strict action against its employees for tardiness and said that habitual late attendance and early leaving from office should be viewed seriously by the authorities concerned.

- 

The move comes after it noticed that several employees were not registering their attendance in an Aadhaar Enabled Biometric Attendance System (AEBAS) and “some of the employees have been coming late on a regular basis”.

In an order, the Personnel Ministry suggested use of a mobile phone-based face authentication system that provides “live location detection and geo-tagging” among others as well.
