A lower level employee at my company is religiously 15-20min at least 2-3 days a week. Im not her boss as she is not in my department, but her boss is my equal.
Her boss says she is a great employee otherwise so he doesnt want to get rid of her which I kind of understand, but when you are on salary and cant show up on time, something has to happen.

Her excuse is generally that traffic is bad where she comes from. Well to me its pretty simple… fricking leave 20 minutes earlier than you usually do.
Not my problem though, i find it funny.

Is it time-sensitive to start the day at a particular time? Can they stay 15-20 minutes late to make up for it? My profession is more about getting your time in for the week and getting the work done. The start and end times aren't as important if those two are being satisfied.
