Consequences for Failure to Clock In/Out?

We are implementing our first timeclock system, moving upward from paper timesheets. Most of the employees caught on the first week, but one or two like to "forget" to punch, esp. when returning late from lunch, etc. One employee seems to think she only has to punch once a day. 8-| The employees clock in/out on their computers at their desks.
It's time to add some consequences and/or carrots. Any ideas?

They read:
(e) Employees who clock in late or fail to clock in twice within a 3-month period,
will receive a verbal warning. Additional late clock-ins or failures to clock in
within that same 12-month period will result in a written reprimand and possible disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. An employee with more than four late clock-ins in any 12- month period will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
(f) Employees who clock out early or fail to clock out twice within a 3-month
period, will receive a verbal warning. Additional early clock-outs or failures to
clock out within that same 12-month period will result in a written reprimand and possible disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. An employee with more than four early clock-outs in any 12-month period will be subject to disciplinary
action up to and including dismissal.

This is your front line in curtailing the problem immediately.
A: "Failure to receive a check."
My suggestion is to not even think about enabling these people. Make them accoutable to themselves. Trust me, I had this problem and I also had enabling supervisors who perpetually did manual edits in Kronos. I disabled their accounts one week and had about 60 people with no checks. Problem solved.
I believe under FLSA you still gotta' give 'em their check and make adjustments on the next pay. You'll correct me if I'm wrong, but it's okay.
