"I am an extremely reliable employee and have not been late to work in the year and a half I've been at my current company. I understand the negative impact that being late or absent can have on the team and on patients who need care in the community. If I were going to be late for some reason or if I was ill and could not make my shift, I would notify my manager immediately."
