Hi Sangeetha,
First of all, do you have any policy on office timings and late comings? If not, please announce one soon. Normally, organizations allow a maximum of 10-15 minutes of late coming three to five times during a month. There are also organizations where no grace period is allowed, and employees are immediately made to lose either half a day of leave or half a day's salary.
In the case of your employee, since he is consistently coming late despite warnings, issue him a letter of warning and clearly mention that for every instance of late arrival, half a day's salary or leave will be deducted. Implement this policy consistently. Please note that when establishing timing policies, they should apply uniformly to all employees in particular grades and not be randomly used to punish those who err. Also, explain to the employee that "coming to work on time is discipline, and staying back late to complete work is commitment," and these two aspects should never be conflated.
You have also indicated the level of the employee and the job he is doing, etc. Anyway, I hope the above is sufficient for now.

Hi Sangeetha,
I fully agree with Krishnan. In our company, we do have our office timings policy. As mentioned above, you can issue a warning letter to that employee and make a policy for office timings. Communicate the same to all employees and follow the same.
You can allow a 15-minute relaxation period; failure to comply will result in the employee being marked as late. Three or four instances of lateness in a month can lead to a deduction in salary or leave, as the case may be.
