Even if you work a crappy job, your obligated to live up to those conditions that are laid out, or go find something else to do.

Or stick with the standard 15 minute break x 2 and 30 minutes lunch, and count their screwing around for 15 minutes and leaving early as their breaks. or set their grace periods for 15 minutes at the start and end of the day and decide if your going to play for early in and out, but then you need to be precise and look at time collection instead of assumptive time.

This only really works if you can lay solid proof in front of them, maybe implement a written warning system.

If I see someone killing themself with #3 and I respect them I'll work for nothing; if I see the boss cruising the internet and taking off early then that filters down to everyone's attitude.
So your options are to be a leader on the issue and "make it fun in the dressing room", let the issue slide, or replace your current employees with people that are self motivated and don't have kids or pets.

Depending on how many people are doing it in an organization its now about money, and thats crucial with small companies. And it sounds like he's tried to make it fun, by pointing at it jokingly, this is where he needs to do the impromptu performance review followed by the compliment sandwich so to speak.
