Now I am retired and need not give any excuse. I am usually well in time and when I need to come late, I inform my colleagues on phone.
Many years ago, I was in government service. You cannot go early as office opens only at scheduled time. Being late by a few minutes is not significant. But being late for half an hour or more matters. Such late comers need give some excuse.
Cycle puncture, disturbance on road or sickness in family were usual causes. These could be real or fake.
