3. Continue to pick up the slack until the manager takes action.
4. Warn the associate that you will speak to the manager the next time he is late.

I would choose 6 (none of the above) and I would just concentrate on doing my job. Your supervisor will notice and hopefully take appropriate action. To confront the co-worker, or tell on them, only makes you a target or bad guy. Right now the tardy worker is making him or herself look worse than you could by telling on them.

If I had to pick one of the reccomendations, 5 would be what I'd pick.
But what I reccomend is different. I would either talk to the manager or your hr department about this. If you are not the persons manager, it is not your place to directly discipline the person. Plus, if you bring it up in a meeting you will have started a fight. Let the people who are paid and empowered to discipline this person do their jobs. In addition, I'd reccomend documenting in detail how much this person's tardiness has an effect on your job.

I had the same situation, with my supervisor, several years ago... she was constantly late.. I had made a point of telling her, she needed to be on time Sunday, as I had to be somewhere right after work. She strolled in 45 minutes later, to find our boss there ( I had to leave ). He spoke to her about her lateness, she was on time for a week, then it began all over againg.... til she was dismissed.
# 2 and # 4... tell her that it is rude, and disrespectful, of him/her to constantly arrive late.

Ok, let's not assume here. Maybe the fellow associate has gotten permission to come just a tad bit late, just for this week only. Maybe he/she already went to the supervisor.
If not, send an anonymous email to the boss and tell them about this slacker!!!!!

6. Figure the guy is having a bad week and give him some slack.
