At our school, we also pay our tutors anyway. We allow a maximum of 2 missed, unexcused sessions (3 if there's a special circumstance) for students getting tutored. If the student misses their quota, they are dropped from the program. However, we make sure the student is contacted and warned of these consequences after each missed session. We see the responsibility of coming to a tutoring session as part of the student's general educational responsibility--what we are trying to help them learn! Just as not studying nets poor results, not attending sessions should also have consequences. And besides, we can't pay tutors to sit in a room alone! This may sound harsh, but we do have drop-in hours that the released student can attend. Also, if they think they can turn things around and commit to coming regularly, they can be readmitted to regular tutoring after a simple appeals process. Good luck!
