Is it okay to be late to work if you done extra time?












1















I have about an hour accumulated of extra time I've spent at work that I wanted to use to leave early. However, it seems much more sensible to leave early and explain that I have extra time accumulated, then to be late to work. And sometimes I am just plain old late to work and I can't do anything to be on time. The powerlessness of it all kills me, and it feels like working well stops to matter when you're late.



I wouldn't say I'm late very frequently but it feels like I am late more frequently than other empliyees. Being late over 5 minutes happened only about 3 times so far and I've been working here about 6 months.



My company has flexitime available but it takes me over an hour to get to work, and so most of the time I'm set to come in the later times of that flexitime already.

          If you have flexi that means that time you accrue is your time.



          This means as long as it's okay with your manager you can use this time how you want, leave early, start late or even a half day. I would confirm with your manager what you're actually able to do with your accumulated time to be sure.



          I will add: Being late is never okay whether you have accrued time or not, your manager needs to know.
