How much is a reasonable fine for employees per day?
Thread Content
One employee had a really tough day today! I was fined 900 yuan in one day – that’s several days of work wasted! The reason is that a fine of 500 is imposed for leaving one’s post during night shifts, and a fine of 400 is imposed for errors that lead to tower damage. The 500 is a company regulation, while the regulation for the latter case is 200; it’s not clear why the workshop imposes an additional 200 as a penalty that affects production over the course of a year, resulting in a total fine of 400! Is the penalty too high? I only worked less than 200 hours in the previous day – why such a heavy fine? Is there a rule specifying that the amount of punishment per day cannot exceed a certain limit? There must be provisions in the labor law regarding this, right? Who knows?
Only a fine of 200 is imposed when the tower is damaged? It should be calculated based on the economic losses incurred
Fines are not the goal; they are a means. As long as the problem can be resolved, that’s fine. The purpose of production management is to enhance employees’ sense of responsibility, accountability, and happiness. Excessive fines can make employees think that managers are deliberately making things difficult for them, leading to conflict ； Managers need to establish authority; when management proves difficult, fining can be used as a deterrent. In short, fining is not the goal; it is a means.
Since there are rules, they must be followed. However, fining the workshop an extra 200 is unethical and has no basis. It is an action to punish arbitrariness.
The amount depends on the nature of the mistake, whether the company has been enforcing strict work discipline recently, and the damage caused to the company. If a maximum amount can be set for fines per day, then fine me for all the money I have today – I’ll just keep making mistakes. Since the fine for today has already been paid, what can you do to me? To put it bluntly, with a daily income of 200 and a maximum penalty of 150, that leaves 50 yuan. I’ve been in a bad mood lately, so I skip work every day; how am I supposed to make any income then?
Clear rewards and punishments are the right approach; if there are only punishments, where are the rewards? . .
To meet the requirements for normal work is what constitutes a salary; adhering strictly to company rules is something that must be done. Unless it is done exceptionally well, exceeding the company’s standards, or bringing benefits to the company and reducing losses, then rewards should be given. If discipline cannot be enforced, then impose a penalty! I’m facing a problem similar to this right now; I just work slowly – at this pace, I feel it’s fair given my salary – and I delay things as much as I can.
The rewards are few, but there are some, such as when you report something! Haha;P
It’s necessary to clarify the following points before commenting: 1. Why was the person away from their post – due to work reasons or personal matters? Did the person leave their post ask the team leader for permission and get it? 2. Is it a single-person position? Was the erroneous operation carried out in coordination with the DCS, and couldn’t the DCS detect the error in time and issue a warning? It’s not complicated, but it’s not easy to handle. The amount of the penalty isn’t important, but it must be justified. After all, corporate managers are not **departments**.
Follow the regulations – without rules, there can be no order. When the company does well, the year-end bonuses will increase as well
There will be no one left to be punished in the morning and evening! ;P;P;P;P
