Clock in when you start work, but leaving is based on responsibility. The scheduled start time is 0900, and being late results in a pay deduction. However, with one word from the chairman, everyone in the department has to arrive at the company at 0800 for a morning meeting. What is supposedly a meeting is really just listening to the chairman lecture and deliver his teachings. Meetings are also held irregularly on holidays; absences require taking leave, while attendance comes with no compensatory time off or pay.
