1. I was late for work

I think you could get by using either, but you probably would use 2 when referring to your workplace (ie a location) whereas 1 just means late for your job (location doesn't matter).

Also 2 could mean "I was late to (start) work(ing)"

But in any case there isn't a great fifference and no one is going to notice or question which one you use.
