Tardiness at work

A Free State teacher who was repeatedly late for work and isolated herself in the boardroom instead of invigilating students has lost her nearly R300,000 per year job. Mokhuwa Nyakallo, who lectured at Motheo TVET College Central in Bloemfontein for 20 years, was fired in February. This came after she arrived late at work for 30 days, but the incident that raised eyebrows was when she spent three hours shut in the boardroom instead of invigilating students. The team weighed in on tardiness at work and asked, “how seriously should we take the issue of punctuality at work? And how do you feel about work rules and regulations being relaxed due to personal circumstances?”
