Does a sanctions officer in a government company incur sin if he knows of employees' tardiness or absence from work but cannot take action against them because he is bound by official reports that do not include their names, whether due to courtesies from gate security officials or the failure of direct managers to report?

Since the employee's work requires him to limit the imposition of penalties to the names sent to him by the company gate security department or direct supervisors, there is no blame on him for not imposing penalties on those whose names have not reached him. Rather, the responsibility lies with whoever failed to report the names. He should strive to limit this corruption by advising the officials. If they do not respond, he should inform the higher authorities in the company, provided he does not fear harm.
