Employee refuses to clock in for coworker who's always late, coworker accuses her of not being a team player: ‘You're getting me in trouble over nothing’

What would you do if you were in this employee's shoes?

Some people are simply terrible at punctuality, which is not the best quality to have in the workplace. Being on time for work is one of the most basic rules of a workplace, and someone who is always late can get in serious trouble for that.

That being said, the only one responsible for an employee clocking in time for work is that employee, and no one else. The question is, what would you do if a coworker of yours, who is chronically late to work, asked you to clock in for them in the morning, before they even got to work?

If you ask us, it's a valid dilemma. On one hand, you want to be a good coworker, and even a friend, whom others can rely on. On the other hand, clocking in for someone else is illegal and can get you in a lot of trouble if you're caught. And doing it for someone else, especially someone who is always late, might not be worth it.
