What Would You Do If You Realize That You Would Be 15 Minutes Late To Work?

Running late to work happens, but it's important to notify your boss if you won't be arriving at your scheduled time. As soon as you are able, notify your workplace that you will be late. This will allow them to accurately plan for the time you are not in the office. Even if you believe there is a slim chance you will be late, contact your manager anyway so they can plan for your potential tardiness. In either case, notify your manager of your expected arrival time.

For example, if you have an early morning doctor's appointment that should allow you to arrive at the office before your scheduled start time, you should notify your manager that if the doctor is running late, you will be affected and will most likely be late as well.

Answer: I understand the significance of punctuality and why everyone in the workplace should stick to the deadlines and timelines that have been established. However, some circumstances, such as traffic or a sick partner, may be unavoidable. As a result, whenever I suspect I will be late, I call in and ask a colleague to cover my shift. In my previous workplaces, we always did the same for one another, and I expect the same here. However, I am not always late for work on a daily basis.
