The reading passage discusses the Acme Accounting Companys' tardiness problem that had been a serious problem for a long time. The lecturer discuss the plans to solve the problem that occured in the company.

The problem with the junior accountants' tardiness became so serious in the company that president of the company asked its seniors to come with proposals for the resolution of the problem. One of the proposal was the make-up check so when a junior would be an hour late to work, then he or she would have to stay one hour more to make up the work. However, according to president, this solution was not harsh enough but rather a bonus when juniours would be able to set on their own hours to come to work whenever they wanted to.

The other solution which was proposed by a different senior staff was that, when a junior would be late to work then the company would substract money from the employers' salary. However, there was a big drawback at this solution because when a junior was late at work, then the company would lose work and the company did not prefer to lose work.

In last, president decided to exert the both penalties for the tardy employees at the company. According to president, the solution was harsh enough but best way to solve the problem.
