So for some background I work in a very laxed very old school office. We do everything on paper including our time sheets.
We are trusted to just write what time we come in and out, then total it up every other week. We write our total on a sticky note, put it on the boss's desk and they log it into payroll.
So far so good, we are all trust worthy so it works.
Problem, one of my co-workers who has been working for 5+ years has been doing the totals wrong.
EX: Clock in @ 8am – Clock out @ 4:30 pm = A total of 8 hours and 30 minutes (8.5 hrs) but instead they mark it as 8.3 thinking it is 8 hours 30 minutes.
I caught this when I missed a day and they did my time wrong, no big deal for me ill just add the missing time next check, but it got me thinking how long have they been doing this wrong?
The boss is a smart guy, and probably knows this is happening. IDK what to do, I'm going to tell my co-worker, but idk what to tell them to do. Were talking 5+years of missing hours because of a little math illiteracy.
