And what if the sky fell???? Please, adding more "what ifs" don't change the situation. You need to address this with your supervisor and if the supervisor won't help then you should consider taking it "up the ladder". Look, a lot of places don't even provide parking lots, and a lot of us who do drive to work have to leave early because traffic is heavy, or we know there may be a train, etc. Until management is made aware of the issue and declines any "relief", you are not posing an actual legal question.
