We were told every office would have them this year.......

In any event, whenever they do appear/return it will no doubt be only in some offices. Much the same with new vans, proper equipment, uniform....

We were told we'd have them November, then by January, then March and they've never been spoken of since

If they did want to bring in electric, they'd either have to merge you into another office or relocate you, probably onto an industrial estate, away from the area that you cover

No chance of this happening, in the DOs they would have to pay every penny for every minute clocking in and out! Never be brought in to DOs , even the ghosting would be compromised under the table payments :left:

but without the clocking on/off machine, how will they manage the acrued unpaid overtime bank of hours thats been talked about? surely you need a mechanism thats robust to start with so that the data of extra unpaid hours banked is robust and auditable?

Probably best to ask Simon on workplace what his plan is.

They most likely will just plan in less hours in a day for x month and add the hour into y month.
If it's just down to finishing early they know we will twig onto it and either slow down, come in on time, even the runners will get the message after year one that it aint worth it.

I think we've got your SISO machine mate! :left:

Came back off delivery on Thursday and there it was sat by the door all wrapped in Clingfilm! :cuppa
