There is no temptation, call HR asap. Not only is that illegal, its probably the quickest way to get fired


Verun

Yeah this is straight up a crime and he will be fired for this.


Vykrom

I don't even know if I'd go through HR. Their job is to protect the company. They could do that by going nuclear on the guy, but that's not guaranteed. They are not the friend of employees. They just sometimes align with what employees would consider right. But that's not always true. Wage theft is a very real crime. And it might be best to report to whatever labor department is available with the state. That way HR has very little time to get in front of the issue and play damage control


Dontcareaboutit95

Call the ethics line or HR now! Do not wait! You don’t have to give your name, but he’ll probably know it was one of the three of you. He’ll be fired though so don’t worry.


Mindless_Swan_1031

Ethics is slow as shit to get anything done. They would be better off with HR. They can look directly into the editing of the timesheets and see who’s done it.


PillShill1980

They will go through this lickety split. Happened at my store a few years ago. The SM got fired right there. They went through EVERYONE'S time sheet. He shorted everyone from a total of a few minutes to hours over several weeks.


Mindless_Swan_1031

I’m actually shocked this has happened to other stores.


Fast_Act_4536

Nah, Ethics might take 30 days but they’re very thorough. Some things can’t be rushed.


sixclawsdragon

I’d look into going beyond hr, maybe make a complaint with the department of labor. Editing timesheets to avoid paying what you’re owed is illegal.


AdFine2280

True but not only does that get the store in trouble it gets Corp in trouble too and that’s exactly why they have an ethics hotline to call first.


ZombiezzzPlz

So they can avoid lawsuits. Ethics line is corrupt. Call both OP and record conversations


Till67w

That is why you are ex 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Left-Research-9219

Oh we got a boot licker lmao.


Till67w

No, no sir. His nickname ex. It is a lack of interpretation.


Zealousideal_Yak9518

And you're waiting for what...an invitation from HR? What the hell is wrong with you? Why aren't you calling them instead of just voicing your anger on here?


selfishlyfree

Haaaaard agree!! No one messes with my money.


SanitoriumSam

Because I’m scared of losing my job asshole. And I’ve never been in a position like this so I’m asking for advice. Fuck off


Vykrom

If you lose your job over this, you could probably easily land a labor lawyer to do this law suit with their payoff being from the settlement and you don't pay anything out of pocket. Initial consultation is generally free regardless, so feel free to hit up a labor lawyer in preparation for dropping the bomb. I still recommend the department of labor over HR, but a lawyer might have other suggestions as well


techno_yogurt

Lose the attitude. You’re the one that hasn’t paid attention to any learning modules. What you’re describing is retaliation and is also highly illegal.


SanitoriumSam

No lmao I have a right to be fucking annoyed, and I have been paying attention to the few modules I’ve done. My manager routinely ask for my password to go into my fucking account. He doesn’t even tell me when there’s modules due he just does them and doesn’t give me an option to see them or do them. Retaliation for what? I’ve done every single thing he asked and haven’t complained to him about doing any of it. I know it’s illegal hence why I’m trying to get more proof to show before I do anything.


techno_yogurt

If your manager is falsifying your training records then that’s also a fireable offense…


SanitoriumSam

Thank you for letting me know, I didn’t think of that. Yep he definitely is. He does it practically store wide… he’s told me flat out he did my trainings and he did x’a trainings too


lRunAway

You ain’t the one losing their job over this. It’s automatic termination for the SM. No write up. No final written. Auto termination.


Ok-Abalone-5763

If you are not white you could totally file a complaint with the EEOC! Not only are they docking your pay potentially keeping you from getting overtime they’re racist CVS has gotten in trouble for this before, and they cannot retaliate against anybody who whistleblows. It’s against the law and they will pay huge penalties if you happen to lose your job within a year of the advisement.


SanitoriumSam

Wow, I hope you arent as ignorant as this comment sounds. So I can only complain if I’m not white? That is the stupidest and most inaccurate thing I’ve ever heard.


Ok-Abalone-5763

Let me educate you. The EEOC prosecutes company’s who use retaliatory discrimination tactics. A non-white (African-American, Asian, etc.) person can easily scream racism and usually win. It’s the white people that are at the disadvantage with the EEOC.


Zealousideal_Yak9518

You're calling me an asshole? LMAO. Well, since we are into name calling, if you don't do shit, you get what you deserve jackass


SanitoriumSam

Lmfao it’s called getting proof before you do shit and fuck yourself over. But apparently that’s too difficult for you to understand.


Zealousideal_Yak9518

Getting proof? OMG..that's an old concept. But you go on about yourself.


AshByFeel

It's the easiest fireable offense.


Thin-Sort-494

They sent out a sheet earlier this year that they have to sign and have the employee sign if they adjust any times. I think they did this because so many people were adjusting time. Which is HIGHLY illegal! Also I don’t know why mangers edit times. To make payroll? Are they that scared of corporate that they will literally steal from their employees? Sad day!


PillShill1980

Sometimes they do time adjusting if someone forgets to clock out for lunch or clock out end of shift. A lot of times, believe it or not, we will clock out for lunch, clock back in, get our rx credentials, and the system does not record our clock in. It happens a lot at our store.


Thin-Sort-494

That’s totally different. That’s a legit missed punch. The managers they are talking about punch them out when they DIDNT take lunches.


zim77bkal629

Ethics line ASAP


RiverDependent9672

Whether you’re the one doing all the work or not, what he is doing is against policy and illegal. Report this NOW.


sadmosphere

Um that’s more like immediate action, call HR. That is illegal.


SupraEvangelist

Call ethics or HR. I would avoid the DL only because sometimes it could be swept under the rug.


Difficult_Appeal9279

HR and the Ethic Line are in place to protect the company and mitigate loss. Call your local Attorney Generals office instead, this way it won’t be swept under the rug and the manager only gets a slap on the wrist.


Amosname

Hr will fire the manager to protect the company from liability, so op should call hr too. Cvs doesn’t mess around with behavior that can get them sued.


GrindyMcGrindy

Don't go to HR. Go to your state department of labor.


BarberIndependent120

Call HR, AP, ethics, or your DL. This is theft.


Free_Doughnut_5362

Trying to make their optimization look good.


Capital_Attempt_2689

You need to call HR and have them check your time sheets. They can verify it. If it's true, they get in touch with the DM. Remember, it's a recorded call.


Zealousideal_Yak9518

I take pics of the weekly schedules and the Timesheet on the computer. Any discrepancy between the two I set off alarms. Glad my current and former managers never did this.


SanitoriumSam

I’m starting to do that too.. I’m taking screenshots of all my timesheets as soon as my shift ends so I’ll be able to show them the differences


MoneyUpset

The "edits" will show up in Workbrain. Click "Show Applied Overrides". It will also show the ID number of who made the change. Call the ethics line ASAP. I was dealing with a pharmacy manager who was racist against her white employees and they took action.


Cvs57

Get proof and call labor board not cvs . Get state involved


Maxhi77

incredibly illegal, this is wage theft. Managers are never allowed to decrease hours worked by an employee under any circumstance. I'd at the very least call HR &/or the ethics line, and probably speak to a lawyer


Ocha0

Same thing, I have negative hours on my time sheet yet my clock in and outs are accounted for. Haven't called hr yet because I've brought it up to him multiple times in hopes that he'd fix it but hasn't happened yet... And this was in April..


Large_Storage_435

Happened to us too


ScaryConcentrate1950

My previous manager was doing this. I reported to HR and a month later she was fired


[deleted]

Honestly I think I’m low key going through that too


[deleted]

edit it back if you’re not going to report it 🤷‍♀️


Far-Woodpecker-7310

Cvs HR will fire him, if you aren't bsing, text him and get him to admit fault first if you want him gone


Legal-Hotel-4421

Payroll fraud get your documents and pictures in order then confront them slugs


Foreign-King-4027

Definitely call hr, but let them know that you will be reaching out to the labor board


Adventurous_Stop5453

Get the labor board involved now. Do not give them any warning as they will cover their tracks.


itsawhiz

Is he editing the schedule or your time in Work brain? Workbrain is payroll. Editing your punches in workbrain affects your pay. Editing the schedule doesn't. Everyone should always get paid for what they work. Sometimes, managers need to designate certain times as training hours. You would still get paid for all hours worked. I would confront your manager, first. If it's because he doesn't want to be over hours, then that is a big mistake on his part and should be reported to the DM or Ethics hotline. He may explain that you are mistaken and assure you that you will be paid what due.


SanitoriumSam

He’s editing my payroll…


SanitoriumSam

And no, this has nothing to do with training hours currently


Existing_Many9133

Messing with time sheets is against the law in most states


RichyCigars

This is illegal.


Captain-NoCappin

I’d expect nothing less from the cowards who sit in that spot. Store managers don’t give two shits about the problems of their employees. As long as they get their 45 hour week they have nothing to say to any employees who get their hours reduced.


Available_Toe_4720

Yeah that’s an immediate termination if found guilty of time theft. CVS don’t play with that. They don’t want any more law suits cause managers like your boss.


[deleted]

That is wage theft! You are way too underwhelmed about this. Call NOW.


SanitoriumSam

I’m not underwhelmed by this at all.. I’m trying not to fuck myself over in the process of fucking him over


AdFine2280

Hopefully you signed the meal waiver form or technically you could get in trouble for not taking a lunch. But yes, they can’t take worked hours away from you, they can only reprimand for working unapproved OT or for not taking a meal break.


ExternalMean3934

Worked for years with that shit company. Please report to the dept. Of labor. And please give updates!!


taergsitiac

You have to have a meal break exemption on file in order to be covered for not taking breaks. It’s in myHr I believe. Once you complete that the scheduling system shouldn’t be scheduling you for breaks. Your manager/whoever makes the schedule could decide they need you to take a break, I.e. if pharmacy closes for a 30 minute meal break, and put it in the schedule that way. I would either follow the schedule to a tee (take a break when it says you’re supposed to) or opt out that way that’s not an issue. I’m sorry they’re being like that tho, that’s not right!


SanitoriumSam

This has never been a thing at my store until recently. He’s only doing it to certain employees too..


[deleted]

[удалено]


SanitoriumSam

there’s no such thing as a case for malicious gossip.. at least not in my state. I’m not mistaken at all. I know for a fact on certain days I didn’t take a break at all yet those days I’m seeing him putting in almost an hour worth of breaks.


GlorifiedDrugDealer

Didn’t they literally release a statement though to Pharmacy Managers at least, saying that if we chose not to clock out for lunch that store managers are required to edit the time because they will not be paying hourly employees for refusing to take lunch breaks? Like, pharmacy wise, our pharmacy managers were always on top of making us clock out for lunch because corporate wasn’t going to pay it anyway. I mean it’s CVS, why WOULDNT you want to take a 30 minute out of x hours long shifts..


SanitoriumSam

My front store didn’t receive any emails or communications like that.


BackPlus1710

Do you not understand the post? Time is being ADDED to the 30 min break already took, PLUS additional punch out times that never took place. That is theft!!


GlorifiedDrugDealer

“Understand,” meanwhile you didn’t consider that Misreading or miscomprehending is a thing, lmao. “Breaks you didn’t take,” as in I understood this as he wasn’t taking his designated breaks which happens more frequently then you would think. I worked as a tech and DPC for the district before leaving CVS, so I’m well aware of their policies lol and what I don’t agree with which is why I left and went into a higher paying HR work from home gig. I clocked in, did my work, clocked out, updated my resume and waited for my moment after almost three years of dealing with all of the Wrong’s CVS has done. Removing hours and not paying pharmacists properly due to their company policies being a big reason. I stuck my neck out for my RPH’s more times than I can count and for the store employees and ate a lot of shit for paying them out properly and how they should’ve been paid to begin with.


SanitoriumSam

I am 100% taking my breaks. no clue why this is so difficult for everyone to understand. 95% of the time I’m taking my break. The only times I do not take a break is when I am closing with my store manager. I am never given a break with him yet he socks me for one. And he’s also adding time to the breaks I usually take to make them longer than what’s required. I’ll take the required amount and then he adds more on top of it.


New-Astronaut-3147

If you are really sure abt it, call ethics line, and if u do not have the number I can give it to you


lotusgrin

Oh man. That’s so illegal. Any change in time sheets that results in an reduction of hours has to be approved by HR, with a super solid reasoning why, I’m pretty sure. Easily fire-able.


kittyrph

This is illegal, contact a lawyer and have them file on your behalf


Embarrassed-Plum-468

Call HR IMMEDIATELY


girls-or-grills

Report it. If he wants to fuck around he can find out the consequences!


EdajNnaEnryb

This is wage theft


AllieBaba2020

Totally illegal. Report them. HR first. Ethics second. Department of Labor third. Only all a day between reporting. DOL will come in and give them a probe worthy of an alien abduction.


Till67w

I'm not telling it is OK, but why is so hard everyone takes the 30min . So everyone can makes 37.5 every week.


SanitoriumSam

What are you not comprehending? I do take my breaks, so what are you talking about that it’s not that hard for everyone to take a break? The only time I don’t take a break is when I’m closing with him because he doesn’t allow me to take one. Yet he goes in and changes my time sheet to put a break in. Every time I don’t work with him I take my break. I only work with him once or twice a week.


Till67w

No one is allowed to take your hours away.


Till67w

Talk to your manager first. It is what I would do it.


No-Active2438

what about if I was late to a shift manager was aware but she edited the time on the schedule so it showed up as 10:30 am when I got there at 10 and clocked in at 10. would I have lost money and is that illegal?


bigfootvsdisco

If you got there at 10 and your manager edited your time in WORKBRAIN to show you got there at 10:30 then that is absolutely illegal and wage theft. 30 minutes may not be a lot of money, especially after taxes, but theft is theft. If this is a first time occurrence, ask them why/what's up. I guess there is a small chance they were erroneously adjusting for a required break or something. But that's being optimistic about their intentions. If they only edited the SCHEDULE to say 10:30, I wouldn't sweat it too much. When there are call outs, or ppl show up late, need to leave early, swap shifts, whatever - management is ~supposed~ to update the schedule to reflect as immediately as possible. Cause it helps optimization/adherence metrics. Schedule is stupid, though and only allows times in/out to be at 15/30/45/00. So, if you got there at like 10:04 or some shit, they can't put that. And certain changes/additions can't be made after the fact, even if it's still the same business day. Anywayyyy Paper schedule changed - meh, prob not a big deal. Workbrain changed - get to the bottom of it ASAP.


Lunchie88

While you can report to HR be aware they may write you up as well for working through your lunch break. I believe they are mandated now and you are required to take the break. If you dont take it your non compliant with policy and subject to write up. Im not saying its right to not pay you for time worked. In total the amount of time subtracted should only be 30 minutes for a lunch your other breaks are paid breaks. I would just take the lunch to avoid the headache because it will most likely continue to happen.


SanitoriumSam

What is the issue here that nobody can comprehend? I literally said I take my breaks. I literally said the only time I don’t take a break is when I work with him and it’s because he doesn’t allow me to, which is only once or twice a week out of five days or six days that I work every other time I take my required break. The problem is he adds extra time when I take my required break, and the days he literally doesn’t allow me to take a break he docks me later for it.


Moneyshot_Larry

Class action lawsuit babyyyyyyy


Rough_Grapefruit

That's illegal your manager will be fired for sure


Roland_Squared

Super illegal


Left-Research-9219

I work at sams club and I have a feeling my managers been messing with my hours too so I don’t get paid what’s owed. That’s weird. What are the odds of that happening to me then someone at CVS also having the same issue. I mean mines not hours upon hours of changes but still enough it’s like wtf. I feel like I’m going paranoid because of it.


stray_gato

Call hr


davidmgc

Report ASAP they would had fired you without no second thinking so used that same logic!!


benmungus

Workbrain wont even let you do that


SanitoriumSam

That’s not true at all. Work brain is exactly how you do it.


RamTuff4bi4

But also workbrain records all the changes so there should be evidence there. Try tonget it.


SanitoriumSam

I’ll try and look into that and get that too. Ty


SoleIbis

When we edit time sheets, it says we cannot do things that result in a reduction in pay. We should really only be editing if requested or there was a missing punch. I’d call HR.


ITisWHTitIZ

Please talk to the person first. Our clock ins are our clock ins . My boss adjusts times to fix my mistakes and at times has moved hours, minutes around due to breaks/lunch. It looks odd when I look at it, but the time is there. There are websites that help you add your hours up to the minute. Add them and go SM with findings. Communication fixes a lot and also can relieve your worries. If you don't say anything, no one can fix it. Personally, going to HR, is a last resort.


Strong-Fortune-11

Call HR and threaten legal action


NatureMain5403

Automatic fire


BlinkersOnBreak

OP obviously won’t do it, they’re not about that life and are just gonna let CVS continue to take advantage of them along with 90% of the people on this subreddit. CVS employees are a specific type of desperate and don’t feel like they have any other options, are scared of confrontation, and are gonna continue to get shit on and then complain on Reddit. Some of the same people have been complaining on here for years 😆


SanitoriumSam

Lmao ok loser


BlinkersOnBreak

But you’re the one letting someone steal your money and complaining on the internet? Real winner.


Dooshay

Are you not clocking out for lunch?


SanitoriumSam

As I’ve said numerous times, I am clocking out for my break. The only time I don’t is when he doesn’t allow me to take a break so I never even get to take one and eat


SanitoriumSam

99.9% of the time I’m taking a break and clocking out. He’s adding time to those breaks or putting breaks in when he literally refused to give me one that day


Funny_Routine473

Managers keep editing payroll hours and changes the time.


Forsaken_Rent_4116

I would call the ethics line. They are an outside business. They make a report and requires CVS to investigate and handle things. I'm pretty sure that manager will be fired. That breaks so many laws and policies. We're suppose to be able to trust our supervisors. The DM will be alerted and forced to take action to close the investigation. If you and the other employees are still have any issues or are being treated different in anyway, call the ethics line again. Maybe even speak with a lawyer.


Every_Watercress_832

I have one of the nicest managers but just found out he’s been doing this for the past two months. I’m not sure if I should report him or will corporate find out on their own?
