[quote=Anonymous]I agree that the key difference here is consistent lateness versus occasional.  Five minutes late here and there is no big deal.  A few minutes late every day, after having already been spoken to about being on time, and in conjunction with weekly excessive lateness, is a different problem.

If she is good otherwise, then I'd suggest telling her that tardiness remains an ongoing concern, and clearly an ongoing challenge.  Ask her why this is difficult for her? Tell her that your expectation is that she will ready to literally be handed a child at 8 am, every day.  Show her the arrival times, and especially the consistent significant tardiness, on paper in the short time she has been with you.  Make it clear that this is a job expectation and if she cannot meet it then it may be that this is not a good fit.

Don't personalize it - make it about the job and the expectations and whether or not she can meet the expectations that were the same for her predecessor and in what you advertised when she applied.

Good luck.  I'm not optimistic that she can change but I hope it works out (if you want it to).[/quote]
