Yes we have heard that announcement so many times both as an employer and employee. Thoughts fly into your head panicking about work. For the employer you wonder if everyone is able to get to work on time and an employee thinking what other route can they take to get there on time.                                                         

So what happens if employee arrives late due to other circumstances be it leaves on the line, tree in the road, an accident or snow. Well it is the employee’s responsibility to make up the time. As employer you think ‘oh it has only happened once, so what is the problem?’ But how do you know it is only going to be once? That is when a good manager should be recording these times. It is not you being big brother watching you, it just to record the facts. If you decide the first time is all right and no need to make up the time that is fine, as long as you are consistent across the company. If there is a tree blocking a road which impacts some making them late, then you can make a decision, but you need to be fair and consistent.

As an employer you are seen to be fair and as an employee you know where you stand.
