At my friends job they do not use time clocks. They are given a shhet at the end of the week to sign. Often the supervisor sends their time in with the employees signing for their time. Me friend’s pay is always short. He’s suspects his boss of stealing money.
i currently work as a mechanic for a ford dealership. i am fully commission paid. i work form 7 to 4 with a 1 hour lunch (supposedly) most of the time there is cars that have to be fixed immediately because the customer is waiting. they ask us to take a short lunch and pressure us to finish fixing the vehicle so we end up taking a 40 min lunch. after 4 pm when i already worked 8 hours and i have a vehicle that has to be finished the same day they ask us to stay late and finish the car for the customer. so lets say we clock out at 5:30, 1 1/2 hour of overtime. the manager changes out time clocks to 8 hours so he wont pay us overtime. do i have a case here? how can i fight it? sometimes they also ask us o come a 6th day for the week without clocking in. its a big company and it happens to most of techs here.
IM IN CALIFORNIA, WE DO GET OVERTIME BECAUSE THEY SOMETIMES PAY ME 2 HOURS OR SO (VERY LITTLE COMPARED TO THE ACTUAL TIME)
Do you think its right for employeers to go thru your email, do drug testing, use time clocks, see how long your on the phone??? Please give me your detailed thoughts. Only serious replays please.
My husband and I own/operate a family farm. We have part-time hired help & as of right now we are having them write down their hours on a piece of paper & give it to me every two weeks to be paid. We have to hope that the employee is being honest and not writing down extra hours or not taking off lunch, etc. I have been looking for time clocks but don’t want to spend an arm & a leg for 2-3 employees. Any suggestions where I can purchase one for a fairly good price say no more than 0?
My boss asked me to look up information on time clocks and I need a little help. We are a small business with many departments, so we need it to have departmental break down. We are trying to get several ideas together so we can show them to the owner and see what he thinks.
My boyfriend recently discovered that one of the managers in his store frequently adjusts employees’ time clocks to reflect a 30 minute lunch break if they clock out for less than 30 minutes.
It seems to me that this is illegal, and the correct course of action would be to discipline the employees that are not taking the full 30 minutes in another way.
Is it illegal to adjust the time clocks in this manner? And, is it *legally required* that people take a 30 minute break for 8 hours of work? Could the company get in trouble if it was seen that people were not taking the full time entitled to them if they did it voluntarily?
Thank you!
This is taking place in NJ, if that helps. I’m getting the impression that required break laws vary from state to state.
Okay, so we got new time clocks here at work, and I’m not too sure how the hell it works.
I had an employee clock out at 15:66. I am well aware of the fact that he clocked out a 3 something, I am just not sure how to figure out what each minute calculates out to.
Someone please HELP!!
My friend works at a university as a student employee. She missed a week of work (20 hours, university policy) due to illness.
They use hand written time sheets. She made 2 copies of her time sheet – she put the "real" hours on one and had her supervisor sign it. Then she threw it away. On the 2nd one, she wrote down that she worked the full 20 hours, forged her bosses signature and turned it into payroll. Every 2 weeks, she receives a copy from payroll of the hours she worked. It will read 40 hours (for 2 weeks). She is the only one that checks the mail, so she is shredding it when she gets it. Her boss wouldnt ever suspect anything because he signed the "real" sheet to begin with, even though she turned in the fake one. She isists there is absolutely no way she could get caught. No cameras in her office, no computer generated time clocks.. she simply walks the time sheet to payroll, and that is it.
How can I get through to her as to what a bad idea this is??
Under this circumstance:
-Student employee at university
-Did this 1 time , total 0
-Edited hand written time sheet after boss signed it. Changed hours from 15 to 38.
-No computer generated time clocks, no cameras, budget is set for employee to have max hours of 40 a wk (budget wont go over or under)
-Boss does not come in contact with student wages, only when signing time sheet
-Time sheet wont appear suspicious to payroll because the student always works 35-40 hrs
-Payroll does not contact supervisor, student gets paid as usual
My husband works at a Dillard’s where the time clocks are a joke and often miss the hours worked. The time clock missed one of his punches, so he filled out a time card to fix, and the secretary responsible for it forgot to file it. He was thus clocked in till 10p when he should have been clocked out at 8p. This was not caught till after payroll had written the checks. They then asked him to write them a check for the difference! To me, this sounds completely off the wall and unprofessional. Has anyone else had an experience similar to this? This just feels wrong to me.
