00:05:16.127 --> 00:05:18.777
My reaction to the employee would depend in part on 

00:05:18.812 --> 00:05:21.584
company policy for such a circumstance.

00:05:21.619 --> 00:05:23.925
But if I were the one to make decisions concerning 

00:05:23.960 --> 00:05:27.245
tardiness or absenteeism, I would first and foremost call 

00:05:27.280 --> 00:05:29.750
the employee into my office BEFORE the problem 

00:05:29.785 --> 00:05:31.679
became chronic.

00:05:31.714 --> 00:05:34.240
If the employee offered no reasonable excuse for the 

00:05:34.275 --> 00:05:36.925
problem, and did not correct the situation after our 

00:05:36.960 --> 00:05:38.950
discussion, I would recommend terminating 

00:05:38.985 --> 00:05:40.967
the person's employment.

00:05:41.002 --> 00:05:43.463
Companies must have responsible, dependable 

00:05:43.498 --> 00:05:46.565
employees to remain functional and successful.
