Can I miss work if my car breaks down?
Yes, if your car breaks down and you can't get to work, inform your employer immediately. Some companies may offer remote work or allow personal time off.
A car breakdown is an unexpected event that can prevent you from getting to work on time or at all. In such situations, it’s important to notify your employer as soon as possible and explain the circumstances. Many employers understand that vehicle issues are beyond your control and may offer solutions such as working from home, if feasible, or using personal or vacation days to cover your absence. If the breakdown is severe and will require several days to fix, keep your employer updated on the situation and explore options for temporary transportation. Demonstrating responsibility by communicating promptly and offering to make up for lost time shows your commitment to your job, despite the unexpected inconvenience.
