What happens if I am late?

_{The Basics}

We rely on each other to keep things running smoothly — and that means being on time. This policy sets out how we manage timekeeping, including when you’re expected to arrive and leave work, what to do if you’re running late, and how any patterns of lateness will be addressed. 

_{What You Need to Do}

• Arrive in time to start work at your scheduled time — not just to walk through the door.
• If you’re going to be late, let your manager know before your shift starts and give an estimated arrival time.
• Ask your manager if you need to leave early — even in an emergency.
• Use the correct system to sign in and out log, and never do it for someone else.
• Know that repeated lateness without a good reason may lead to disciplinary action.

_FAQs.

Q: What if I’m late because of something outside my control?
A: Let your manager know as soon as you can. We’ll be reasonable — but we’ll also look at repeated patterns over time.

Q: Will I still get paid if I’m late?
A: You don’t have a right to be paid for time you haven’t worked — but it may be up to your manager’s discretion.

Q: What if I forget to clock in?
A: Let your manager know straight away so it doesn’t affect payroll or attendance records.
