Honesty is apparently not the best policy, definitely not in the working world because often times, human resources department has to deal with dishonest employees with regards to time attendance and medical leaves causing company a lot of money. For an employee, so what if he asked other fellow colleague to clock in for him and he’ll show up an hour later? Nobody will even notice that he’s missing in that short hour. So, what if he clocked in earlier and clocked out later than scheduled? When an appointment with a client outside of the office is at 11, just inform the office that the meeting is at 10 and go straight from home around 10 instead of checking into the office first. Who’s going to check on you?
Time Stealing is Harmless?
And the worrying part is, majority employees who commit this act do not feel remotely guilty of doing such thievery because there’s no negative impact on their lives whatsoever. What’s it to the company if they have to fork out some extra dollars? It’s not going to hurt anybody, is it? In business, each minute equals to dollars and cents and a company must remember that one extra hour a day makes a cheating employee slightly richer on payday. Multiply that to x number of employee, the damage is pretty apparent, isn’t it?

| Employee’s perspective of company’s time |
Another open secret of the working world is that, the best days to call in sick are Mondays and Fridays, and employers know that employee will think of a way to prove their illness. Companies suffer losing money on absent employees on top of having to spend a lot more on medical claims entitled to employees. It’s reported recently that Malaysian employers lose RM2.9billion equivalent to almost USD1 billion in a year to workers replacing employees on medical leave. Absence employees, late employees, undisciplined employees cost company more money than it should be, and solutions are being offered to curb this never ending quandary.
