Changing Exempt to Non-Exempt

We hired an employee as exempt about two and 1/2 months ago. We are located in Florida. She was hired as an executive administravie assistant to assist the general manager in that facility to over look various aspects of the bussiness such as engineering, purchasing and sales. I know we are not to keep track of hours of any employee, but she was expected to put in the time necessary to traing up in these areas. Since she started the first week she missed half a day and the second day she missed an entire day. To continue she has called in various times that she would be running late and does not put in any of the extra time to catch up.
In the time she has been working for us, and the time she is at work, she does pick up quickly and is a good worker. The general manager does not want to get rid of her, but feels she would best be an hourly employee. Can we and how do we go about with this process?

To make the change in classification, tell her that her position was audited and reclassified to nonexempt. Emphasize the positives of the change, like overtime pay, eventhough it doesn't sound like there's much chance of that happening!!
