Half Day Leave for Indian Business Environment, based on Hours Worked criterion, would be more than welcome
ReplyDeleteHi Jagdish,
ReplyDeleteAppreciate for your idea. Kindly update us the details of your proposal and send it to support@fingertec.com, so we can study and get the advice from our R&D team. Thanks.
In India, wages are not paid on hourly basis. Rather based on number of days worked. So please include a criterion in TCMS that so and so hours of total working = Full day and so and so hours of minimum working = Half day. Again how many hours worked in 1st half will entitle for half day and how many hours worked in 2nd half will be half day. 2nd most important is Leave Management. If say x No. of leaves are credited to an employee, leave taken should get deducted from such credit balance and net balance should get carried forward. These are minimum two significant requirement for indian business environment. You can always reach me out on smartindustrialsystems@gmail.com
