Lateness is a serious problem for every business. You have a starting time for a reason; this is when you expect your employees to begin working. In an office, if you start at 9, this means everyone should already be sat down getting along with their work. In a store or bar or restaurant, your starting time is often when you open your doors – so everyone needs to be there ready for this.
