In this day and age, no manager can just start enforcing rules on just the worst one of the bunch of associates. There has to be documentation, and even proof everyone has been treated equally.

I see what milee and gooddecisions are saying - it's an all or nothing equation. It just seems like it shouldn't be as black and white as that. For managers who aren't so black and white: how do you deal with this stuff? How do you feel out who just has crap luck sometimes and who is taking advantage? Does not matter if crap luck or abuse. Both get treat the same. Consequences of absent or late have to be the same no matter the reason. Only person who get a break on that is approved FMLA. If guy is slow starting, then he not as productive as average worker. His output not above average, no raise. Worker there late is not always most productive. You need measurements. What work they do? Packages per hour? Picks per hour? Parts per hour? Transactions per day? If he work 8 hour and has same or better productivity than others and customers not affected by start at 8 or 9, then no leg to stand on.

I had a boss who never made the receptionist be on time. Everyone else was on time but she was always 20 minutes late. He said he was thinking of getting a time clock, I told him I would use it. I was salaried non exempt and got overtime but never charged if I was doing what I wanted to do after hours. The year we got a computer for the first time I was working 4-6 hours unpaid overtime every night for 6 months because I wanted everything in the computer so from Aug to Jan I got all payroll data in then in tax season I got data for comparative financial statements for all clients because it was fun. The time wasn't billable to clients and the elderly partner wouldn't have wanted it done, but I wanted it done. Give me a time clock and I will use it meant it would cost time a fortune in overtime.

As a salaried employee? I can't imagine any company firing a salaried employee for working too much.

That means they qualify for overtime. If as a company you're discovered having people work without being paid, when they SHOULD be paid, you're in trouble.

Gotcha. I've just never had a time card as a salaried employee, but I am exempt, so that would be the difference.

I was salaried in public accounting. I still had to fill out a time card breaking down all of my hours for billing purposes.

I was salaried and had to put in a time card for accurate hours future government bids. I didn't get paid overtime though and it wasn't billed.
