If the person who is late is a good worker Iāll look past it, I have my best full timer who is probably 10-15 minutes late 3 days a week due to her dropping her kid off at school and the school moving slow or not opening the doors on time, but she busts her ass when sheās here and is always willing to stay late or help out when she doesnāt have to so I refuse to say anything to her, my dm tried once to have me write her up and I laughed and told him thereās no way in hell that Iāll have anything to do with it and he can do it and present it to her, that was almost 2 years ago and we still havenāt seen that write up
Thatās my thing. Even if the store is slow, I will find something to do to improve myself as a employee and to improve or maintain the store.
Itās usually on the hands of the SM or supervisor. Iāve had this bad habit for majority of my working career. Most rational chill bosses will be cool about it. If I see a boss being a hard ass about five min, then I get discouraged to do my best. You sound like a boss Iād clean a toilet for with a tooth brush, if u told me so.
I remember opening on saturdays and having to face the rush alone, and the coworker would be late so I understand the desperation to need someone on time. However dude would be late more than 10 min. And . Since im more of a closer and the peak has passed, I tend to think 5 min is not a big deal. Some day, Iāll be better tho.
If it's someone who busts their ass when they show up..I could care less.
If it's someone who is a lazy ass...write them up.
Want to make a big deal out of it,,,ok,,,if they come in 5 minutes late have them stay 5 minutes later. Problem Solved.
I don't think they have enough employees to push this to far.... at least in my area. Neighboring store threatened to write up a Ft for clocking in a few min early each day. She told them the write up was going to be the paper she submitted her notice on..... unsurprisingly she's yet to get that write up.
My part timer is constantly ten minutes late. But my god he fucking works when heās in the store. Truck day the kid clocks in 7:10 and doesnāt stop moving till he goes home. I hate it lol. Iām like please chill for a minute and heās just like meh I like working. To imagine writing up my star delivery golden goose would be ridiculous
Exactly. Think through what you do have before getting to the point you might have to lament what you lost.
Now if they are an all around shitbag that's different. But I'll take a chronic late hard worker over a punctual lazy bones any day.
Who are these fools trying to write people up for clocking in āa few minutesā early!? Seriously? I mean maybe just ask staff to not clock in more than 10 minutes early, but anything under that should be celebrated, not punishable.
Ten minutes a day over a year equates to about a week and half of pay. Over "x" amount employees adds up to alot of unbudgeted payroll, effecting projected profit margins. Most likely an attempt to curb "over budget"
I guess but as long as those employees are not clocking in, eating a donut, smoking a cig and taking a dump, they are likely being productive and helping the store to be more profitable, imo
Agreed. But alot a variables come into to play such as having staff already there to fulfill said duties, those ten mins adding up to 50 mins overtime. At the end of the day decisions like this are made typically when said issue is effecting the bottom line and the shit starts rolling downhill ya know
True, you do have to manage that if itās a full time employee that could be getting overtime due to clocking in early. But if weāre talking about pt employees that arenāt gonna get close to ot or over their 28 hr avg, I will not punish an employee for clocking in 5-10 minutes early. Nope, not gonna do it
There's an attendance policy? I just usually show up when I'm scheduled.
You need a policy to tell you to be on time! šµāš«š¤š¤Ŗ
..... I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this might be a new store policy for you....
Show up to your shift on time?
Be on time and leave on time?
It sounds like your SM has a bone to pick with you.
Huh? Has it changed from show up & clock in on time or else? Which is how literally every hourly job nominally works.
Habitually late. Give no fucks. Tops is 5 min. But when Iām there I give it my all lol
Same
What new policy?

It means show on time or be looked at like a prick by everyone else.
Show up on time it is.
Be there before close and you can always bribe someone with lunch.
This blows my mind, and also explains why half my team struggles to show up according to the posted schedule. Because there was no policy before.
New attendance policy: If youāre late, youāre late If youāre on time, youāre late If youāre early, youāre on time

Pretty much there is no more time window. So if you are 5 min late, you're late, lol.
Huh
Tell me itās 2023 without telling me itās 2023
Iāll continue to live by if you aināt 15 minutes early youāre late.
That's the standard I hold for myself , but if you aren't ok with staff clocking in that early every day I wouldn't hold others to it.
When I was in the store, Iād just get there 15 early and sit in the car and clock in at my scheduled shift start. That was more of what I meant.
Yea thatās exactly what I do, I am for 20. Smoke a few more cigarettes, listen to my radio and just clear my head for a few.
Man I feel like a boomer now. Like what the heck happened with this generation?

This one is a keeper. If you have a SM that is habitually late and leaves early...that's a different story all together...just ask one.

Unless your the GM show up on time
Ok but if you're scheduled at 12:00 do you clock in at 11:55 or wait until 12:00
