This policy sets out TechAbout's standard office hours, working days, and standup timing, together with the conventions that apply when an employee arrives late or leaves early. It also explains the approval process and the consequences that follow when these conventions are not met.

Working Hours and Days

The table below summarises TechAbout's standard working schedule.

Conventions

Entry and Late Arrival

To allow for emergencies on the road, our flexible entry time is until 9:15 AM (before the standup meeting).

If you enter the office after 9:30 AM, the following applies:

• You must give a proper explanation for being late to the HR department, with your supervisor's acknowledgment. If your supervisor grants the late coming, it will no longer be counted as late coming for that day.
• If this kind of lateness happens more than 3 times, you must adjust the time by working on your weekly off days.
• If your weekly adjustment crosses 4 weekends, you will be eliminated from that increment cycle.

If you come in after 10:00 AM, that day will be counted as casual leave (except where your office timing is different).

Early Departure

If you leave the office before 6:00 PM, the following applies:

• You must give a proper explanation for the early departure and seek permission from the HR department, with your supervisor's acknowledgment.
• If both your supervisor and HR grant the early leave, it will no longer be counted as early leaving.
• If this kind of early departure happens more than 3 times, you must adjust the time by working on your weekly off days.
• If your weekly adjustment crosses 4 weekends, you will not receive that increment cycle.
