For once, the Navi-Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s new policy comes as a breath of fresh air for those disgusted with the non-professional attitude of the organisation. Now when you visit the NMMC office, you might find all employees at NMMC office present before start of shift. The administration has taken an initiative wherein the employees’ attendance has been linked to their leaves. If any employee reaches office after 10.30 am, a late-mark will be recorded against his or her name. Three late-marks will add up to loss of one day’s leave. In case an employee does not have any leaves left, loss of a day’s pay will be recorded.

Strict measures: In November last year, Mayor Sagar Naik waited foru00a0the latecomers outside the gates and asked them to fall into two lines. The defaulters were made to stand in line for over an hour. File Pic
