In all honesty, that lateness of 5-10min could have been avoided by leaving house 15min earlier than usual. Knowing it's not a good habit, definitely try to avoid. Like someone said, sporadically being late - that's still alright. But consistently 1 week late is bad news. Company does have the right to issue warning letter for this, but whether it could be grounds for termination - unsure. Probably someone in the HR can advice.

For us it's simple. Overall throughout the year if you're late for more than x number of days, x% of your bonus will be deducted (quite a big %).
Cinapek? Very so if mau jaga poket then don't be late - that's the message they're sending.

Thanks, guess you're from HR. I have a question:

You mentioned the 'clauses in employment contract' ie. the 48 working hours per week. This is in presumption that the employee who is constantly late for work, leaves on time.

However if he/ she always make up for the lateness? Example, every week he/ she comes in 15min late, but would stay up to 1 hour extra per day. That's 45min more than necessary to make up for the lateness. In this situation - i guess the clause is not effective?

Was referring to the fact that employment clause states employees must work min 48 hours. So my point is, even if included in the late hours, the employee still contributing >48 hours, is it deem ineffective for the employer to take action?
