from HR perspective:

its not that easy to fire someone just because being late.

being late is a minor misconduct.
but habitual lateness is a major misconduct.

and habitual lateness can cause issues with teammates/colleagues, interfere with work, productivity, and whatever negative effect you can put in.
example: how can a manager or supervisor arrange a schedule / plan, and then one of his staff doesnt come on time and cause him to change schedule everytime?

this is more than enough reason to fire someone.

of course, need to give enough warning and ample time for the staff to explain and improve themselves.
if still continue, then bye bye.

You are right. Frequent lateness like TS is a habitual lateness. I encountered cases MNC fired staffs who were regularly late for work. One can go to the Industrial Court case management portal to search and download the details for those cases.

Is it normal to always pay staff salary late?

Typical mindset where "I step on you, you stab me to death" scenario. There's no winning here.

Paying before or on 7th of next calendar month is legally allowed. Section 19(1) of the Employment Act 1955, you're to be paid within 7 days after the last day of any wage period (usually a month). HR needs time to compute PCB, EPF contribution, Socso, OT calculation and etc.
