On our team I know last year and the year before we have a rule where we make people who are hindering productivity go home. Of course, this isn't enforced very much, but it definitely makes a difference sometimes. Other than that, usually only the most dedicated people show up anyways during build, since our team is fairly large, so it hasn't been that big of a problem.
