There are reasons why people do go to work late. If it is his first time working late, do give him a chance to explain himself. But, if he often do that, then his actions must correspond a punishment.
Tardiness must be strickly implied and is written at the employee's handbook.
Good day Mr. Youssef,
Employers expect employees to get to work on time. Occasional problems with traffic or family issues sometimes make employees late. But chronic tardiness is another thing altogether.
I would track tardiness occurrences by issuing a consistent series of oral and written warnings and documenting each admonishment. Then follow up to see if the behavior improves.
I hope this answers your question.
