STRUCTURE OF THE REPORT

15. • Tardiness can be justified, especially if the employee is experiencing
personal problems; however, without a certain degree of flexibility and
support from management, this can be even more detrimental than
unexcused tardiness.
• Dealing with tardiness for employees is very simple and straight.
• Do not let this worst situation come up and prune this habit before it starts
growing.
• It is the responsibility of every individual to manage one's time and keep the
personal affairs away from the profession. To get respect in workplace, one
has to stick to the workplace ethics.
• Being on time can have serious effects on one's job. But it is easy to
overcome this problem once we learn to manage-ourselves.
