Comment on What is wage theft exactly?
Morcyphr@lemmy.one 10 months agoI see this quite often as a manager. Shift is 8-5, hour lunch. Per policy, deviance must be approved by the supervisor. I get people all the time clocking in at 740ish and not starting work until 815ish, circle jerk around the coffee pot. In fairness, I SHOULD dock that time, but I don’t. Write up for violating established policy. I had a guy a few days ago, clocked in at 8, text me at 815 that he is running late because he can’t find his clothes (what?!). Who’s stealing wages in this scenario?

In fairness, check with your dept of labor about what labor laws you would be violating. If you dock that time, your employees could make your life hell. And they’d be absolutely correct to do so.
