Great TED talk that's somewhat relevant to this topic: 'Why work doesn't happen at work' http://www.ted.com/talks/jason_fried...n_at_work.html

If employees are late and still do a bad job - fire them. If the employees do an amazing job for you, but are frequently late, leave them the **** alone and be grateful that you have these people working for you, because they could easily leave your ass and do that amazing job for your competitor.
You can't be late all the time and do a good job - it's a contradiction in terms.
...if your star employee comes in at 9:30 or so and is making you mad money, just accept that he comes in at 9:30.
A star employee isn't someone that shines in one area and fails in others. Punctuality is an area of competence. I can't understand the persistent attitude in this thread that tardy people are otherwise great workers. If they can't get something this simple right - figuring out what time to leave home to arrive at work at 9 - what's the reasoning for assuming they're great in other areas, which pretty much have to be more complex unless there's an office job called "breathing"?
