attending late shall be liable to be sent out and treated as absent for half-a-day and
regarding grace time the existing practice will continue.

without permission or without sufficient reason, shall be liable to be treated as absent
for the period of such absence.

vi. If an Employee leaves the premises during working hours without permission, he shall
be liable to be treated as absent for the whole day in case his absence commences before
the recess period and for half-a-day in case his absence commences after the recess

period and without prejudice to being so treated as absent, the Employee shall be liable
for (i) deduction of wages/salary in respect of such absence as may be permissible
under the Law or (ii) disciplinary action as is provided in these Rules.

vii. If five or more Employees acting in concert and without giving 14 days prior notice to
VIT, absent themselves from work or being present at the work spot, refuse to work, a
deduction of 8 days wages/salary will be made in lieu of due notice, in addition to the

deduction of wages/salary for the absent period. Such Employees are liable for
termination.
viii. All the Faculty & Staff members should punch their attendance at the reporting time on

all the working days. Non-punching of attendance shall be treated as absence.

permission for late coming should be intimated to the Registrar / Deans/ Directors /

the commencement of the concerned Employees reporting time.

permission will be given.

up due to unforeseen circumstances will be allowed to punch the Late-Attendance.
Reporting thirty minutes later than the scheduled time will be treated as “leave for half-

a-day”. The same procedure is applicable to leave the office 30 minutes earlier as well.
