# How can HR tell if a late mark was the vehicle's fault?

**Short answer:** Compare GPS arrival with gate entry and the boarding list.

Compare three records for that shift: the vehicle's **GPS arrival time** at the gate, the employee's **gate entry time**, and the **boarding list** showing they were on that vehicle. If the vehicle reached the gate late, every passenger's late mark has the same cause, and the fix is the route, not a warning letter.
