Dear Mamata,
I am no HR expert. However, how can you find out a soultion without finding out the root cause? If you can get new employees without a problem then give them warning with the approval of the bosses and the fire them if the situation does not improve and engage new ones. If it is any situation like Rashmi has depicted, that is the workers are invaluable and cannot be sacked, then you will have a problem.
Have you tried to explain how their action that has led to clients not getting results on time has/could lead to loss of income/repeat business?
Have a nice day.

Dear Ms. Mamta
I apologize for my intervene.
1) You need to apply LOGIC rather trying to gain CONTROL over situation.
2) Either you go ahead with FIXED TIMINGS or FLEXI TIMINGS. BE SPECIFIC.
3) Based on your ORGANISATION's BUSINESS STRATEGIES, decide whether FIXED OR FLEXI TIMINGS are applicable.
4) I hope your organisation is paying for 8HOURS/DAY and your employees are oblige to deliver their OUTPUT or PERFORM within that 8HOURS. Hence measure their PRODUCTIVITY LEVELS proportionate to 8HOURS/DAY.
5) You have to discuss this issue with your TOP MANAGEMENT, seek there guidance and then come to final conclusion. DO NOT TAKE ANY DECISION WITHOUT THE CONCERN OF TOP MANAGEMENT.
I hope you understood how to place SYSTEMS & PROCEDURES in PLACE.
GOOD LUCK.
With profound regards

Dear Ms. Mamta,
If i am not mistaken, It was your TOP MANAGEMENT'S FAULT for not defining RULES & REGULATIONS(POLICIES) in coordination with OPERATIONAL & BUSINESS STRATEGIES.
Deal STRICTLY with employees if their ATTITUDE is creating ISSUES at WORKPLACE.
You may FIX timings for those employees inorder to synchronize with your CLIENT. But, PUNCTUALITY is very important and don't let your employees to take everything for GRANTED.
You may circulate this MESSAGE to your employees "EMPLOYEES ARE ALLOWED TO DO MISTAKES, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY PRICE FOR IT". Its one of the OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES in favour of EMPLOYEES where, employees are taught/updated about all POSSIBLE MISTAKES they can do intentionally and inadvertently. In a professional world, everything has got its own PRICE TAG because everyone is EMPLOYED FOR MONEY.
If you have further queries, kindly feel free to revert.
Be creative in your life and apply COMMON SENSE/LOGIC. GOOD DAY
