It's because depending on the work, punctuality may not be as important as long as they are willing to stay the extra 15-20 minutes or work overtime.
When I was 22, I'd often be less than punctual on arrival but you would always find me in the office long past my supposed get off work time just because it's just as easy to stay a bit longer to do a bit more work or have stuff overflow as it is to spend a few minutes getting ready for the work day when you first get in.
When their shift is over, do they demand to be let off right on the dot even if there is a customer or unfinished business sitting around?
I always hated my bosses who never recognized this and harped on me for being 5-10 minutes in getting going in the morning (getting office, getting ready) when I would often spend 30+ minutes (unpaid) longer in the office than I was supposed to at the end of the day working much harder or because there were things that just couldn't be abandoned for tomorrow. They never recognized that but criticized the former.
