It should be noted that in case of three late arrivals, the salary can be deducted only for the amount of time the employee was late, not more than that, deducting the entire day's salary is a financial penalty, which is not permissible according to Shariah, therefore, Even if it is not forbidden to deduct one day's salary in the law of government, it is not permissible to do so, as it is forbidden by the Shari'ah, and it must be avoided.
If employees are not becoming punctual despite deductions due to late arrivals, other legitimate measures may be taken to make them punctual, such as setting punctuality allowance for employees. It is possible that an employee who arrives on time for a whole month will be given an allowance of Rs. 1000 and a person who arrives three days late will not get this allowance. Since this allowance will be in addition to the salary, which was not the right of the employee, but is a grant or favor from the organization, and the person has the option to make the grant dependent on a condition. Therefore, in case of three late arrivals, it will be permissible to confiscate the entire allowance.
Similarly, any other legitimate measure can be taken to the employees punctual
