The biometric attendance device will capture the attendance along with the time of marking the attendance. Rules with regard to marking of attendance after the prescribed time and leaving the office before the prescribed time have already been made available in separate circulars. Guidelines regarding marking of attendance in the context of introduction of the biometric system are as follows:
Every employee shall, immediately on arrival and also while leaving the branch/office, mark his/her attendance in the biometric attendance device.
Manual attendance system will run parallel up to August 31, to streamline the process. It is required of every employee to be punctual and mark attendance in time.
In exceptional cases, but in no case more than three occasions in a month, an employee may be permitted a grace margin of up to 15 minutes, that is, within 15 minutes of the prescribed time. After the grace margin in a month is exhausted, the employee will be considered late and marked absent.
Reporting/exit timings will be uploaded in the HR system automatically, the circular added.
