"As a leader, I do not wait for a team member to be consistently late before addressing the issue. I address their tardiness the first time they are late. I would privately ask the pharmacy technician why they were late, showing that I was genuinely concerned and wanted to help however I could. I would then address the issue, which depends on the reason they were late. If it were a one-off issue, such as car problems, I would make sure they notify me in the future if they will be late again. If it were something that would make them late every day, such as a childcare issue, I would work with them to adjust their schedule so they would not be tardy."
