Always late
We always moan about the runners and early starters but the colleagues that really piss me off are the ones who turn up 5,10,15,20 minutes everyday
managers just turn a total blind eye to this

Re: Always late
IDd still say runners and people who come in early are a bigger negative affect to our jobs, the people coming in late is more of an issue for the business to crack down on

Re: Always late
As long as the late arrival does his/her usual share of the sorting/prepping/portering or whatever, and they tag the time they missed onto their day, then I don't see that up to 20 minutes or so late is such a big deal. I'm sure most of us oversleep occasionally, or the car won't start, or the train/bus/limo/helicopter is late.
Obviously if you do a van share then it's not fair on your partner. Ditto if someone's dropping your bags out somewhere for you.

Re: Always late
if the managers cant be arsed to follow the late attenders procedure, and other individuals are held up, and cant complete their duty requirements in the allotted time because of other individuals late attendance so be it. cut off and explain why you had to cut off.

Re: Always late
While I agree, however there could be explanations for it.
I'm on a 32 hour contract and am paid "full time", but the way they add it on is 1 hour 18 each day so in total am only paid 38 and a half hours, not 39, so for that reason i come in 5 minutes later each day.
Same people always make comments even though they know the reason. Its only 6 mins each day I'm not getting paid, but if I'm not getting 39 hours pay why should I come in for those 6 mins.
