How do you handle situations that could cause you to be tardy or absent?

"I was raised to be early at all times. I am reliable and understand the negative impact that my tardiness can cause. If I were going to be late, I would call my manager or whoever will be affected by the situation. I would also put in extra hours when necessary."

"I am an extremely reliable employee and have not been late to work in the three years I've been at my current company. I understand the negative impact that being late or absent can have on the team. If I were going to be late for some reason, I would notify my manager immediately. I would also make up the time during my lunch or at the end of my shift to be sure my work got done for the day."
