[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP-- just tell her that you need her at work by 9AM each morning. I don't know her age, but when I was in my twenties I was chronically late. I had a poor sense of time and didn't plan for contingencies (traffic, parking, getting directions, etc.).

I've learned to start everything a little sooner than absolutely necessary-- even if it makes me a bit early sometimes.

Anyway, I think she needs the clear message that there's a hard deadline of 9AM, so that she plans better. [/quote]

This was me. Got fired from a few jobs when I was young because of poor punctuality, then when I had a job I really intended to keep and got reprimanded it hit home and I fully corrected. When I had my son I calculated backward from when I needed to arrive so that all the extra steps were accounted for.

OP could approach this as a coaching, i.e. bringing up time management in connection with being on time. Letting it go on sends the message that it's no big deal. [/quote]
