PANAJI
In a bid to ensure and monitor attendance in government departments and agencies, the State government has directed employees of all government departments, autonomous bodies and corporations to resume recording attendance on face reading attendance machines.
Ever since the pandemic last year, the government had earlier granted a relaxation in punching on biometric machines to avoid the spread of Covid through contact.
However, the government now wants to resume the earlier process of recording attendance of government staff and has directed all heads of departments to strictly implement the order.
The order states that “employees of the State government departments, autonomous bodies, corporations, etc. have been instructed and requested to resume attendance by having the face reading attendance machines.”
The order has directed the offices of the chief secretary, secretaries, additional secretary, joint secretary, under secretary, and also section officers to disseminate the contents of the office memorandum to the notice of staff under their administrative control for strict compliance.
