in each should be recorded the time of arrival and departure, and the total daily attendance, any irregularity in attendance, and the amount of fine inflicted therefor. The actual and not the officially due time of attendance must in all cases alone appear. A red line should be drawn across the book at five minutes past the hours at which the various staffs of officers commence duty, and an explanation required of every officer whose name appears below the line. The five minutes’ grace is a privilege, and is not to be taken when not required, and not in any way to be treated as a right. In the case of letter-carriers each man is to set down, in addition, the time at which his delivery is commenced and completed. The attendance-books must be daily examined and signed by the head of the office, who must satisfy himself that each officer makes his own entry.
138. Punctual attendance is of the greatest importance, and, in reporting on the merits of an officer, it should be stated whether his attendance has been regular and punctual.
