Fines

Fines

Fines imposed by the group serve to maintain order, encourage responsibility, and ensure fairness among members. These fines reinforce punctuality, commitment, and adherence to group rules, creating a structured and respectful environment. By implementing fines, the group fosters trust, accountability, and smooth financial operations.

Common Reasons for Imposing Fines

• Late Arrival – Encourages members to be punctual for meetings.

• Absence Without Notice – Ensures members notify the group if they cannot attend.

• Failure to Make a Contribution on Time – Prevents disruptions in the group’s financial activities.

• Disruptive Behavior – Maintains order and respect during meetings.

• Providing False Information – Promotes honesty and transparency in financial transactions.
