I work at a small, startup consulting firm. One of our employees has a habit of arriving late (10-20 minutes). This has been discussed a number of times, which results in on-time arrival for a while, but eventually the problem returns.
The behavior has somewhat spread to our long-term intern, who will be leaving at the end of the month. Seems as good a time as any to crack down on the lateness; I don't want it to become a widespread issue as the company grows and we bring on new people.
Any good suggestions for effective policies? Most of what I see is very vague (e.g.: Unplanned absences can disrupt work, inconvenience other employees, and affect productivity. If you have a poor attendance record or excessive lateness, you may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.)
