Also, in all honesty, my job experience is not stable prior to this job. I bounced around from job to job in great part because of some personal demons that I was fighting. So, it is extremely important for me to give this company everything I got because they trusted me enough and put me in this position forgiving my terrible work experience from 1999 thru 2006. I have not missed a beat with them.
It is just so frustrating as a Department Manager to have a great crew of hard working folks and have this one bad apple that will no doubt cause problems and possibly be a bad influence on others. I spoke to another Department Manager and he had a great suggestion. As long as he is in his 45 day probationary period schedule him in as early as possible and let him be late a couple more times or no call no show. Then, jump above our HR Manager and take the facts to the Regional HR Manager. Honestly, I feel I should do that this week regardless.

well, there's a lot to be said about having a job you like, and having good benefits to boot.
i would suggest (since my original advice was really not that good) going back to the hr guy, and explaining that not only do you feel it's a waste of your time to train someone to work at a job they obviously don't care enough about to come to work for-in their probationary period no less-but that it will affect the morale of all the workers who follow their schedules and do their jobs.
you tend to get what you expect from your employees. it sounds as tho your hr guy (and i'd imagine he hired this guy, and doesn't want to be proven wrong so quickly on a hire-of course that does happen, no one hits 100% of the time when hiring) has his expectations set too low regarding employees. or maybe he's doing someone a favor.
you could always send the guy packing and then explain why--they say it's easier to get forgiveness than permission!
