I had a couple of employees working for me that used to do this... for more than three years they used to do the bare minimum (1-2 hours/day at most) ... I used to try to motivate/nudge them to at least automate parts of the work they were doing so that we could make a product (SaaS) offering out of it and provide that to additional clients and grow the business (of which all of us would benefit with generous profit sharing)... being a small business owner, i couldn't risk losing them... so I carried a fair amount of their load... Finding balanced people involves lot of luck as well!
