Recently our front end managers have had to do "write ups" for attendance issues.
Obviously call-offs and no shows are very important. It is the "you were late" times when you've clocked-in.
Our STL has been making sure that everyone is at their appointed place at the exact starting time for your shift. For me, one of my attendance "dings" was that I was late. My scheduled work shift was to start at 8:00 am as a cashier. I had clocked in at 8:02 and this was listed on my write up as an attendance problem.
OK, I get it that I was supposed to be at my register at 8:00. I understand that cashiers need to be at their register at their scheduled time, but is clocking in at 8:02 really considered late?
I always thought that by the time clock you have a 5 minute "grace period" of 5 minutes before your scheduled shift and 5 minutes after the scheduled time. If the time clock allows that 5 minute "grace period" then how come the STL & ETL are able to have rules more strict than the time clock?
I had to sign my paper to show that I had been coached on this issue...but I'm not sure that an 8:02 clock in time is really being "late?"
Anyone know:
1) The clock in rules.
2) Is there really a grace period?
3) Where are the clock rules posted....so that if the 8:02 isn't late, I want to be able to have some information to back-up my attendance issue.
Thank you!
