"I would probably express disappointment in my work friend for asking them to compromise my job and my integrity to cover their tracks. I'd probably tell them that I trusted them to never ask me such a thing and that I can't trust them to not ask me again. I'd tell them that I am responsible for my actions just as they are for theirs. I'd wish them luck in getting to work on time and not getting fired. I would tell them to reconsider their course of action and that as long as they don't ask anyone else to clock in for them, I might not inform management. I'd then tell them that the fate of our friendship is up to them at that point."

This question tests your integrity based on your approach and logic in facing this situation. It also tests your sensibilities towards the big picture, teamwork, and communication skills. One way to exhibit strong interpersonal skills is to address the big picture view, exemplifying how you tried to encourage your teammate to make the right decision and approach their situation with integrity.
