Monique has been working for Essem Radio Limited in their call centre for the past 12 years.Her hours are 9:00 to 5:00, with a one-hour break for lunch.Monique has been experiencing some hearing loss and in order to try to correct the progressing problem, she goes to a hearing clinic every morning from 8:00 to 8:30.The clinic is pretty far from her work, and as a result, she has often been late over the past month.Monique's boss,Frederich, is very frustrated with Monique's lateness.He has repeatedly told her over the past two weeks that lateness will not be tolerated and that if she is late one more time, she will be terminated.

Can Monique be terminated based on these grounds?Explain.
