The listening part gives the solution decided by the president of the Acme Accounting Company to solve the problem of tardiness. First, he presents the different proposes that the final decision was based on.

The first propose was to gve the employees the opportunity to arrive late and, then, stay after their time to leave so they could make up the working hours. But it was considered almost as a bonus, and not as a punishment.

So, the second propose that was given was to punish the employeed with a penalty. In other words, the staff would have to pay for the hours they didnt work.

Both ideas were considered. But the president of the company decided to combine the two ideas. The best conclusion to find a way to solve the tardiness problem was, in summary, to oblige the staff to wirk for their lost hours and punish them with a penalty for getting late.
