This breaks down in to 2 situations:

- They are coming in late and leaving early and completing all their assigned tasks. There is no problem.

- They are coming in late and leaving early and not completing their tasks. This requires at the very least a discussion about meeting the goals set for this employee and what it means to complete them. If you have a formal discussion with the employee about their goals and how they are not meeting them and they do not improve then you have a case to remove them.

I suppose there are some smaller inconveniences that go along with someone not being around but they can be pretty easily resolved.

- They should be easily reachable at the very least from 9-5 regardless of the time they actually spend at the office. No one should be stuck waiting on them for an answer to something.

- Other employees may doing an unfair share of tasks that crop up during the day. If an unexpected task comes down from on high or from a client or whatever you usually task someone handy with with it. If this employee is never around they will likely never be tasked with something like this. Just remember to keep them in mind for things like this and shoot them an email/text to inform them.
