I can gen behind this idea but clocking in, in general is archaic as fuq. Can you imagine what female employees would do if given that power?

i am salaried but have to report my hours.
Same, I clock in and start working sometimes 30 minutes before I'm supposed to start, and sometimes I put in an hour of work after I'm supposed to be clocked out. I guess it doesn't matter because I'm not paid hourly, though.

Just tell the guy to stop. There is just no need to have 2 people frying fries at the same time.

I work remotely, and we bill some of our clients hourly, so we have to keep track of time. It also helps for resource allocation.

Same. Reporting time is important to understand margins and plan, but having to "clock in" in the sense of someone knowing exactly when I get there and when I leave is stupid

So the rest of the people clock in on time, and they stand in line for 10 minutes doing so? Then, they take an extra five minutes to actually get started working?
I'd let that one go chief

How much time are you thieving by posting this dumbass thread?

Are they hourly? If so, and they are not being paid for that time it becomes a legal issue for you. If they’re being paid, and you don’t want to, you need to tell them to stop and if they don’t discipline appropriately.

Micromanage much? Get real, if he is productive every day why bother. Are you timing bathroom visits too??
Posted on 8/14/18 at 9:25 am to wazoo11
This seems pretty stupid
We have a "start of shift time" for most employees. If we start at 6 and they clock in at 5:30 their paid time starts at 6.
Although most places we don't have anywhere to "clock in"

Were talking 5 minutes. This guy is probably trying to beat the crowd to clock in so in reality he's probably the only one really on time if everyone is trying to clock in at exactly x time.

Don't hate on him because you show up late baw.
Posted on 8/14/18 at 9:27 am to wazoo11
I’m early almost everyday. Sometimes by a whole hour. As long as we work, it’s not a problem.
Posted on 8/14/18 at 9:27 am to wazoo11
That works out to a little over 1.04% extra pay for an 8hr shift. No biggie IMO

I just did a conference call while laying in bed so I can't really offer any advice.

The shittier the job, the worse the management will treat you.
Posted on 8/14/18 at 9:33 am to wazoo11
i wish my people got here 5 minutes early. would be a blessing
Posted on 8/14/18 at 9:34 am to wazoo11
No. And if the employee is protected in one or more of a variety of ways, you are inviting a lawsuit where your alleged reason for firing will look like a pretense.

I'm still at home as well. About to get dressed. I find I'm much better at starting the day if I wake up and answer overnight emails immediately rather than rushing to the office. Sometimes that turns into an over an hour of doing stuff from bed, but man you can't beat that feeling of being able to get ready and head to work knowing nothing is waiting for your immediate response.
When I get to work, I can sit down and dive right in rather than do the whole "check email, get coffee" song and dance most people do.
