So I work for a big box store a membership big box store. Last week we were told that we had to clock out right at the end of our shift no one was allowed overtime. This was all well and good.. until..we started getting write ups for being ( and yes I'm serious ) one second past clock out time. My coworker was given a counseling notice for being 30 seconds past clock out time. I'm not even sure what overtime that would even be on a check? Not to mention they give us 3 minutes grace period clocking in but not clockt out? I received my first write up today because I was late clocking out ( 90 seconds ) yesterday after a jar of jelly had spilled on the floor and I being maintenance needed to get that taken care of. Didn't matter though. I guess I should have left in in the middle of the aisle for a customer to slip and fall on? would have been cheaper for the company It appears.
The company makes billions and you can't afford a 90 second overage? I'm sorta at a loss for words on the issue. How much money is time and a half on 23 an hour rate for 90 seconds? So confusing to me. Just pay your damn workers.
