Welcome to CiteHR.com! What do you have in mind? The usual and fair step is to seek an explanation (formal/informal) for this. Perhaps the employee was sick or met with an accident. Give her an opportunity to explain.

Dear Doctormabena,
As suggested by Mr. Raj Kumar, it would be fair on your part to seek an explanation. If, in your opinion, he is habitual in doing it, then you need to be more formal in seeking a written explanation. If he repeats this act, then you will have to build a case against him. The law of the land believes in the Principles of Natural Justice. In short, this means that the employee has to be given a fair opportunity to be heard before acting upon it. Even in domestic inquiries conducted to probe into misconduct of an employee, the inquiry officer generally follows this principle.
ALL THE VERY BEST!!!
