How would you handle an employee who consistently showed up late to work?
I understand that sometimes employees have emergencies that prevent them from getting to work on time. However, I also believe that it is important for everyone to be at work by their scheduled start time. If an employee consistently showed up late to work, I would first speak with them about the importance of arriving on time. I would give them a warning and tell them that if they were late again, they would face disciplinary action.
If the employee was still late after our conversation, I would meet with them in private and discuss the consequences of their actions. I would let them know that while I am willing to help them through any challenges they are facing, I expect them to do everything they can to ensure they arrive to work on time.
