Call and tell the truth and that you'll be right in. Then get your butt into work for whatever hours you have left in your shift.

Call anyway. Say you're very sorry, and mean it. Go in for whatever hours you have remaining. Ask if you can go in early the next day or stay late to make up for any lost work so that you didn't overburden your co-workers. Ask a friendly co-worker to call you if you are even 10 minutes late in the future so that it doesn't happen again.

U need to call regardless of the consequences, and tell them u are either sick or u just slept into late, but if u dont call in that could require u to be fired for no call and no show.

The truth is good, let them know that you overslept and you will be in ASAP, then, get ready as quickly as you can and get to work. If possible, offer to work the extra time after your shift should have been over so that they can't claim that you are skipping out on work

The sooner you call the better. Tell the truth. You are human. You make mistakes. You didn't oversleep on purpose.

A personal emergency came up that you had to deal with and you are sorry you are late. You'll be in quickly/tomorrow.

Sorry about being late but I got my foot caught in the tram line and had to walk to the station to get it out.

If you had planned to call in sick, do so...tell them you took some Nyquil or something and it knocked you out and you just finally woke up.

LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE, say you just found out that you lost a relative, or someone close to you was taken into hospital and that you had to be with them, just remember your lie and look upset.
Oh and don't forget to say sorry, then tell the lie.
