Punctuality and flexi time are two different issues. Flexi time is good concept if we work in a corporate way. There has to be value of time. Eight hour should mean strictly eight hour constructive work and not just sitting in the office. Sitting for eight hours in a government office, out of which chatting for six hours cannot be a concept of flexi time. Defined working hours have to be constructively utilised. No body should be under worked. Maintaining punctuality in a government Offices is a Herculean task. Only an attitude towards positive work culture can enforce punctuality. Strict discipline has to be enforced for punctuality. In government offices in general a employee thinks that it doesn’t matter if he is coming late or going early from the office. He thinks that he can finish his work in two hours indicating that he is highly under worked. Besides, no punishment is generally awarded to late comers or early goers. For this a radical change in the work culture of the government offices has to be introduced. Employees should have a fear that action can be taken if they are unpunctual. Besides if an employee is fully loaded with work from the day one he joins the service, he cannot think of being unpunctual.

Now new tactics is required to be introduced as the government employees are already punctual. There is already the provision of maintaining an attendance register in the supervisor of a Gazetted officer as per Office Procedure Manuel. The higher authorities may also check the attendance by surprise/regular personal visits and also call the attendance register. Moreover, the tactics of biometric entry/exit can’t be applied in the case of the field offices. Actually, it is devised for the industrial labour class engaged in the true sense productivity of the goods. The productivity produced by the Govt. employees is, actually, in the field of the services and they can never be given a treatment like an industrial labour. Even more, the reporting officers would not be able to assess the punctuality of the officers under them to fill up the said column in the ACR from by the use of the biometric system of entry/exit. Now, they are able to do it very well because of the attendance register being in their direct custody & regular supervision. It is also well pertinent to mention that the Govt. employees are already doing work rather beyond the duty hours due to being over work-loaded & facing acute shortage of the staff with the lack of basic amenities and other requirements. Such tactics can never be applied in the case of the Superintendents of Central Excise as they are the field works already doing their duties in the oddest hours of the day as well as night. They are working in the early hours of the morning, late hours in the night and the midnight without taking rest irrespective of the weather either it is severe cold or acute heat or high rains. Actually, they are already performing their duties beyond the prescribed duty hours. (All India Federation of Central Excise Gazetted Executive Officers Delhi Unit)
