Interesting the comments in this thread have focused on the 8hrs vs getting your work done, and not the key takeaway I had from reading the post, which was "Other developers have complained about it".
I don't care what hours people put in, or frankly, whether they meet deadlines or not most of the time (reality happens and most of our work isn't saving the world), but what would make me fire a developer in no time is disrupting the rest of the development team.

I can't really comment on it because my comment would depend upon the complaint and the reason behind it? Is it actually disrupting other developers (say they aren't getting their actual work done)? Then definitely a problem. But what if a developer who is doing extra but not getting paid more is complaining because they see this person not putting in extra and getting money by daylighting. The developer they are complaining about isn't the root of the problem, and even if you remove the daylighting developer, your complainer will eventually turn into them. Basically, I can't tell from the question if the complaint is what I would consider legit or just office politics. But I agree, if it is legit, then is a big factor.
