Supervisor forcing people to clock out

I work at an assembly line factory with a lot of paperwork that has to be dealt with. So each batch of product has its own paperwork for that run. If you made mistakes, the batch paperwork will come back to your supervisor, and he will come find you so you can fix your mistakes. My company deals with OSHA ( or at least what they say) so they’re pretty strict in the way they want you to fix or write things. Well he’s been getting huge stacks of batches on his desk and I’ve been helping him clear a lot off when I’m not on a line. We’ve had a lot of people quit and have new hires so it’s not hard to understand that they are going to be making mistakes, especially when most have bad hand writing. Well he was tired of having batch records come to…

We’ve had a lot of people quit and have new hires so it’s not hard to understand that they are going to be making mistakes, especially when most have bad hand writing. Well he was tired of having batch records come to his desk, so at the end of the shift at 11 PM, he stood near the time clock and had all the batch records on one table. Mind you, you can’t have batch records being open together on the same table because the paperwork can’t be lost/misplaced. Well everyone came to clock out for the day and go home, but he stopped them and said that everyone’s gonna fix their mistakes on the batch records and are going to have to clock out so they can be unpaid for fixing them. His reasoning was that he was tired of people making mistakes and he thought that if people were working on their mistakes unpaid, they might finally learn. Well no figure, a paper was misplaced from the batch record and he was angry. I told him it wasn’t a good idea to have the batch records together, especially when QA condemns it. He started yelling saying he didn’t care, that he was tired of the people making mistakes and he just wanted them to get it fixed. I also told him that it wasn’t morally correct to force them to clock out and make them do work things. He yelled again saying he didn’t care what I thought. This was astounding to me, and there was two leads next to me witnessing it. Idk if I should report this to the Department of Labor or just to the HR department at work

TLDR; Supervisor forced workers to clock out and work on fixing their mistakes on paperwork which is work related. Don’t know if this is HR report worthy.
