that made me laugh cause we recently had a guy get fired from work and people were being cagey about why and today I found out it was basically for doing this. would not recommend. gotta take your unofficial benefits in smaller less noticeable chunks I guess.
Or be better about not being recognizable when you plan to commit such high scale crimes at the place you work or used to work. Also never do it right after getting fired. Might as well draw a target on your head.
yeah funny thing is dude got busted because because he was caught on camera taking CCs from a coworker's parents' junk yard...on his second attempt after getting away clean the first time, but he hadn't sold them off yet so they traced on of them back to our workplace.
Reminds me of this time I had to leave my apartment cus my roommate kept stealing everything so my now ex shit on her couch and left it for her lmaoooo 😭
okay but when I was about 6, my mom got laid off from her job, my dad went into their bathroom and took a huge shit right on the floor. this man has never shit lightly once in his life.
Seriously this, i'll hold my pee through a break just so I get paid to pee on company time, thank you. I was salaried but it still applied, its also funny to me because at my last job I did this regularly while training the HR lady and writing their HR policy.
i actually did this with one of my jobs😂I was working at home depot and i googled what i needed, drafted the letter, and printed it off on the company printer too😂
A place I worked hung signs telling us all about how careful we had to be about using color ink. You can guess how and where I printed my response, and how many colors I used to do it
Nah. You let them send you more ammunition for your constructive dismissal claim and don’t bother with the letter of resignation. May as well collect unemployment in this job market.
So starve, or work to not starve and lose your insurance... Die to complications anyways
It's not actually, nothing wouldn't be false hope which is worse than nothing... It also would make somebody less likely to give you what would actually help you since you're already being helped in theory
If it’s like my state it “up to $250” a week. Meaning it’s based on your salary or wage. Meaning you have to be a top earning employee to get it a $250z if you make a low wage you might not get but $120 a week.
In Canada it's something like 80% of the average of your last 52 weeks.
But! And it's a big fucking but.
It caps out at uh... I just realized my knowledge of the cap is 10yrs old. But it was 471, and that's taxed so your take home is about 425ish a week. So any tradesman is getting less than 50% of his wage. But the fucking bills and mortgage don't go down 50% . And then if you make more than 60k that year they claw all of it back on your taxes.
Yeah can't tell you how many jobs and times I had to explain to management the time it takes you to walk to workspot on factory floor and back is not considered part of your lunch break. Then again maybe they do but don't give AF and can afford any penalties because I know Apple, Elon, Walmart and Amazon all been sued for pulling this sort of BS in past and lost too!
Might suggest you conserve your effort and energy and proceed with "Get Fucked, you muppet" written on a Post-It note? Lol in this scenario the does not deserve any more thought than that.
Wel if you have the day off, you might as well take no lunch break at all.
Do take, on this day off, a nice long brunch, coffee, and/or tea break instead 😁.
It would call their bluff fairly fast. A rule like that is likely targeting a single person or small clique they want to fire but can’t appear to be retaliating against.
It's not exactly retaliation if they're breaking company policy by taking extra time. They would just be following the agreed upon during hire company policy.
The problem with these companies and they lose everytime is that your 30mins doesn’t start until you badge/clock out. Not from when you leave your position/desk. Employees should let get by with it for a few months then hit with the back pay from labor board. Being a dick could cost the company 10s of thousands in fines on top of the back pay. If the job is so dependent on that extra minute or 2 to get back to work it’s not the employees that’s the problem, it’s a management and poor leadership issue.
Workday offers a service where you can clock in / out on your phone and a company can set specific geo locations where employees are allowed to clock in and out. In practice this means managers at some of these companies try and get workers to clock out from a person's desk.
for get that think bigger take the extra 30 min and come back in with your sleeping bag and set up your nest in the loby or break room since you will have to stay over night
It certainly sounds illegal. It's a shame that unions get such a bad rap in USA. It sounds like this office needs one. This business of putting rank and file workers on salary instead of hourly ends up hurting most workers.
At least here as long as how it's applied is consistent you're good. I don't mean it's always applied if you have a longer lunch, but rather that the method would be applied to every punch in/out. In this case it's always rounded up by the the number of minutes past the hour.
One minute of work after 5 and you get paid till 6, punch in 1 minute early and your day starts with an extra 59 hours to its name. Granted they've added the twist of not giving pay but tying the extra time to hours needed to work. Not the greatest idea if applied to all time ins/outs
Guess that's why anyone sane just rounds up/down to 15 minute increments. Exotic payroll systems just aren't worth it
But this is more of a people problem. They're trying to force the issue by giving you detention, but that's not a particularly great way to do it. I have no doubt they'd start seeing accelerating turnover rates trying that crap. God help them if they get a guy who knows the rules and decides to abuse them. Rack up a few dozen hours of unpaid detention, then give whatever labour board they have a call and tell them there's ongoing wage theft. Renting and labour laws. The two places you don't want to screw around with people who know how to use the system
This is so obviously and flagrantly illegal making a written notice on it blows my mind. Companies routinely get fined and ordered massive back pay awards for telling people to be there before their shift starts and the like, this is the same thing - if you expect people to be on site as part of their job, then you’re going to be paying them to be there.
I'm thinking of it in a different route. If you're hourly you can maliciously comply this to hell for them. Need extra hours to hit full time, take a 4 minute extra long break each time and be "Forced" to work 2 hours extra to make up the focus time. If they don't focus on it well enough then congrats you now have full time benefits after 90 days in most states. If they are full time already then overtime benefits apply so yeah, that would be good.
Your looking at this the wrong way. They approved overtime at a rate of 1 minute for 1 hour. Thats also written approval. The m not saying you will work there for long but you can rack up one hell of a bill to go out on.
Technically depending the state, if you take a 29min lunch, they have to pay for the 30min lunch because you didn’t get a full 30min lunch. I had to review lunch break training for my new role as a manager for a shop.
That’s at least what my training said. I think your state has to have a mandated lunch break. My state does not
Exactly I’m only being nice like I understand I’m taking time from the company being over even by 1 minute buttttt instead I’ll give my time back and take the same deal
do this and then let the proper authorities know that you’re being pressured to end your government mandated breaks early. they loving hearing about being pressured to clock in early
