Anywhere before step 11. I don't poop on my own time.

[soonerboomer93]

well, when I was a supervisor, it would be step 9
but really it shouldn't be until step 13 imho

but then again, i'm day rate, so mine is step 1

apparently, you are correct.

[Boarder]

apparently, you are not a business owner.
fixed

The day of the fire, one of the employees had his time as clocking out at 1:15 for lunch, back at 1:45 and then clocked out at 7:30. the fire happened at around 1:40 so when he got back from lunch there was chaos and he clocked in and stayed clocked in until 7:30. I gues she wanted to get paid for watching the building burn. Nice, huh?

Everyone should own thier own business for a while and a bunch of attitudes would change. I've said it a million times:

The public has no idea how stupid the public is until the public has to deal with the public.

You have no idea how hard a time I have explaining to new employees: "9:45 means that you are ready to work at 9:45, not that you're walking in the door at 9:45. I don't care what time you actually get here, so long as you are ready to work at 9:45."

[soonerboomer93]

i always had that problem too

10 am start, that means you're logged into everything and ready to start handling customers at 10 am

heck, we even let them come in early and work "extra time" before the shift started
