Elizabeth works for a local restaurant. At the end of her shift, she is required to write in the time that she arrived and the time she is leaving so that she can be paid appropriately. Today Elizabeth was 15 minutes late for work. What would be the most ethical thing for Elizabeth to do?

I believe the answer is: Honestly Write in the correct time when she arrived (15 min late) and the correct time she left.

In addition, Elizabeth need to tell her supervisor about the reason why she's late and said her sorry. Even though this might reduce her pay in the near time, she would create an excellent impression in front of her boss, and increase her likelihood to obtain promotion or bonuses.

At the end of her shift, she's supposed to write in the time she arrived and the time she was leaving, so she probably should write the time she actually came in rather than the time she was supposed to come in. In addition, she would probably want to tell her supervisor that she's sorry and let them know why she was late as she probably should come at an assigned time for a reason
