How many of you get paid by salary and have to clock in?
No matter how many hours I work, I get the same money, b ut today I begin to received the news that we will begin to clock in like the people that work by hour.
Crap.

I would suspect certain salaried employees aren't putting in their time or aren't getting their jobs done. -

networker050184 Mod Posts: 11,962 ModI don't have to clock in at this job, but my last job you had to scan in and out with a badge. I don't think it was tracked for time though, but who knows. They are both salaried positions.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.

astorrs Member Posts: 3,139 ■■■■■■□□□□I've seen clients implement this. Usually as a result of salaried employees working less than the agreed upon hours, or outside of the agreed upon times.

impelse Member Posts: 1,237 ■■■■□□□□□□That is a possibility, that some people work less hours or the job is done, but some times like today I will work less hours but some times I have to work 12 hours. I am not affraid about to clock in but I feel some strange sensation about that.Stop RDP Brute Force Attack with our RDP Firewall : http://www.thehost1.com

We have a tracking system too, but salaried employees only need to enter time off (vacation, sick day). Regular weeks they just enter 40hrs for you.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -
the_Grinch Member Posts: 4,165 ■■■■■■■■■■Some jobs I was required to keep an excel file with hours (for the purpose of AUO). Others I was a part time employee, but was paid the same every two weeks for 30 hours (I did make the 30 hours, but they didn't keep track). Sounds to me like they want to keep track so when layoffs come they know who wasn't doing their share.WIP:

paintb4707 Member Posts: 420I have to punch in and it IS used to track hours. I get paid the same no matter what but I have to make up any time if my total work week doesn't come out to 40 hours. It's my first salary job, not sure if it's the same elsewhere. Get's annoying though, especially when working a 9-5 and it's impossible to make doctor appointments and things any other time and you have the leave the office for an hour or two here and there.

Government contractors are required to keep a timesheet that must be filled out daily or by 10 AM the next day and needs to include the project number. The contractor can be aduited at anytime for timesheets. It's not so bad once you get use to it.And in conclusion your point was.....???

Slowhand Mod Posts: 5,161 ModI've worked for places that demand I clock in to prove that I work 8 hours a day, and I've also worked at places that require I put anywhere from 5 to 8 hours of time on tickets per day to prove I'm working. I understand the reasoning, but it sometimes feels a little like being back in kindergarten, if the company gets on my case about coming ten minutes late, ignoring that I worked 16 hours over the weekend.
Thankfully, I now work for a company that doesn't have me clock in or demand I put time on tickets. I am expected to complete my work and show up within reasonable hours during the day. So long as I don't abuse these freedoms, I have lots of slack. When those freedoms have been abused by others, they've either been put on a short leash or been asked to leave/fired. (It's nice being treated like not only a professional, but also like an adult. )

bwcarty Member Posts: 422 ■■■□□□□□□□I don't clock in, but I do have to fill out an online form that breaks down how much time I spend each day working on various projects, supporting users, dealing with e-mail, etc.
Supposedly, the time we spend working on capital projects gets rolled into the cost of the project, which gets handled differently on the accounting/tax side of things.Help eradicate blood cancers with a donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. -

dtlokee Member Posts: 2,378 ■■■■□□□□□□As an employer in the state of NJ I must keep track of the hours worked by any employee including salaried ones (manager or execuitive level are excluded). If you are asked to fill out a time sheet it could be due to employment regulations.The only easy day was yesterday!

paintb4707 Member Posts: 420Does anyone else have to make up time if you leave the office for an hour or so? Is that common practice or is my company just weird?

paintb4707 Member Posts: 420Yup, we have a type of honor-system that lets us do a six-hour day one day, and then do two nine-hour days after, or something similar to that. There is one very real drawback to not having a formal time-in/time-out system, and that is that things are so relaxed that I often find myself sitting here at work until 7pm or 8pm at night, chatting with people or helping out with some issue that could probably wait until morning. Since I don't really watch the clock, 5pm comes and goes most nights, before I leave.
It get's quite annoying, I wish it didn't effect me I rather take the hit in pay then have to sit around past business hours getting paid to do nothing.
I mean I see the fairness in it but what's the point of having a support type role sitting around past business hours when everyone is out of the office? Unless I have a particular project I'm working on, which hasn't been often lately. My work doesn't directly impact our productivity, ya know? It's not like if I skip out an hour from my 40 hour work week that we'll be backed up on orders or missing inventory counts.
Oh well, I still love my job and the company I work for so I'll stop ranting now. -
NOCup Member Posts: 22 ■□□□□□□□□□Technically we don't clock-in but the call center application that we use pretty much allows the manager to know when we logged into the system. But I know he doesn't look at the logs because sometimes we forgot log in for hours until an incoming call went into the overflow line
