Re: CLOCKING IN/OUT MACHINES GONE ?
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 coverpostieblueshirt wrote: ↑19 Aug 2022, 14:43no way we will get them the place floods when it rains has no ceiling and we dont own our victorian d.o so id be very surprised if they spent the money.same with electric we have space for 3 vans total good luck when electric comes.

No chance of this happening , wouldn't be able to pay the actual OT due to us, every penny for every minute over , in our DOs when clocking in and out .

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

Re: CLOCKING IN/OUT MACHINES GONE ?
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?Kenfandango wrote: ↑19 Aug 2022, 17:07We were told we'd have them November, then by January, then March and they've never been spoken of since

Probably best to ask Simon on workplace what his plan is.Norfolk 'N' Chance wrote: ↑19 Aug 2022, 20:16but 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?

They most likely will just plan in less hours in a day for x month and add the hour into y month.Norfolk 'N' Chance wrote: ↑19 Aug 2022, 20:16but 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?Kenfandango wrote: ↑19 Aug 2022, 17:07We were told we'd have them November, then by January, then March and they've never been spoken of since
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.

He was quick to say any overtime agreed with him will not affect what time you sign out.
