Memorandum

To: All Staff

Subject: Time Management

Time Management is an important aspect of our company’s policy that enables us to ensure smooth and efficient running of the company. As you know failure by one section to report on time and be at their stations when required will inconvenience other sections in completing their tasks. Therefore in the spirit of team-work, it is important that we are all at our stations on time and be there for required duration. It has come to my attention however that many of us are not keeping time and that is why I have found it necessary to remind our entire staff of their obligation in managing time efficiently.

As you are aware, all employees are required to report for work from Monday to Friday and work for a minimum of eight hours every day thus bringing total weekly working hours to forty. Please note that lunch is prepared at the company premises to make it convenient for you. None the less, it is not compulsory that you take your lunch here but you may choose to go out if you please. In case you go out, please ensure that you sign out while leaving and sign in while getting back to avoid misunderstandings on how long you have been out. Lunch breaks will be exactly one hour but in case you are held up by business or any other reason, make a point to call so that relevant departments will be aware of your delay. For those of you who smoke, it would be prudent to buy enough cigarettes to avoid having to break to go and shop for some. Lastly, if you need an off, please inform the relevant authority and try to do so in advance unless there is an emergency. I do understand that there may be circumstances beyond your control that may make you unable to report to work or force you to leave early. However, do not abuse this privilege by trying as much as possible to avoid unnecessary off.

This letter is meant to enable all of us manage our time reasonably and avoid inconveniencing other members of our company and not to hurt or discriminate against anyone. However those who will not respect these measures will leave the company no choice but to let them leave. If anyone would like to make suggestions, I will be glad to hear them out. Just ensure that those suggestions are reasonable and can be applied within the framework that I have provided.

Thank you

Edward Mike
