Shit shouldn’t fly. When I was still in construction I fired a few people for being late twice.

Had a guy who constantly had “car trouble” so gave him a pass the first time. Second time he phoned me and said he needed a jump and he’ll be a few late

Third time in 2 weeks he’s late, he shows up, tell him he’s gone.

Salary is a bit tougher because it seems like people feel a bit more entitled. However in any job you should be there, ready to work when the shift begins. Imo it’s stupid to expect people to constantly be there 15+ minutes early every day, but if you’re 5-10 and ready to work when the clock strikes, good enough

In your case though I’d say he should have been fired already. That sets such a poor precedent for others
