Subject: Explanation for Tardiness — Houston, Texas Dear [Supervisor/Manager's Name], I am writing this letter to provide a detailed explanation for my recent tardiness to work in Houston, Texas. I understand the importance of punctuality and the inconvenience my tardiness may have caused. 1. Traffic Conditions: Houston is notorious for its heavy traffic, which often results in unexpected delays. Despite allowing ample time for my commute, circumstances such as accidents, road construction, or inclement weather can significantly impact travel time. I generally plan my commute accordingly, but unfortunate situations on the roads can lead to unavoidable tardiness. 2. Public Transportation Issues: Reliance on public transportation in Houston can also contribute to delays. Although I try to accommodate for potential delays, there are instances when bus or train schedules are disrupted due to technical difficulties or other unforeseen circumstances. These factors can occasionally lead to tardiness beyond my control. 3. Personal Emergency: On rare occasions, unforeseen personal emergencies may arise that can potentially disrupt my morning routine and cause me to arrive late at work. It is my utmost priority to promptly address and resolve these emergencies; however, it may unfortunately result in tardiness. 4. Vehicle Malfunction: Automobile breakdowns or other mechanical issues can unexpectedly occur, causing last-minute inconveniences. In such cases, it becomes essential to secure an alternative mode of transportation or arrange for repairs, which may lead to delays in reaching the workplace. 5. Family and Dependent Responsibilities: As a responsible individual, I prioritize my family and dependent responsibilities. There might be instances when unexpected situations arise, such as medical appointments or emergencies for dependents or elderly family members, that require my immediate attention. In such circumstances, I must ensure the safety and well-being of my loved ones, which might occasionally lead to a delay in reporting to work. Despite these occasional setbacks, I assure you that I am focused on maintaining an excellent attendance record. I have taken measures to minimize tardiness as good as possible by allowing additional buffer time for my commute and keeping my vehicle well-maintained. I understand the importance of being punctual and strive to continually improve in this aspect. In order to rectify my tardiness issue, I am open to discussing potential solutions with you. Whether it be flexible working hours, telecommuting options, or suggestions provided by yourself, I am committed to ensuring this issue is resolved promptly. Your guidance and support are highly valued, and I will make every effort to prevent future tardiness. Thank you for taking the time to understand the reasons behind my occasional tardiness. I apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your consideration. Please let me know if there is any further action necessary on my part, or if we can have a meeting to discuss this matter in greater detail. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Employee ID/Designation] [Contact Information]
