Grace Periods Before Being Marked Tardyevabraham writes: "This question involves the Manufacturing Industry.
I would like to find out what the norm in the manufacturing industry is regarding grace periods before being marked tardy. We currently have a policy that gives a 3-minute grace period. In our Illinois plant we give a 6 minute grace period. We are debating whether or not to change the 3 minute grace period or not. I do understand that late is late whether you are a minute late or 10 minutes late. However I am just trying to gauge and see what the norm is around the country."

There is no substitute – and no shortcut – for creating good content; the costs of poor content far outweigh the cost of developing good content.
