| Jun 1, 2018 at 19:39 | comment | added | Phil M | @bharal true, but the OP is not the one who set the policy. Handled the wrong way you have "2 rule-breakers" instead of everything being approved. The OP is expected to evaluate productivity as their manager and it goes into reviews, raises and layoffs... but allowing an employee to cheat on time clock stuff just because they are a good worker can get the OP in much bigger trouble than the employee. | |
| Jun 1, 2018 at 19:30 | comment | added | bharal | @PhilM why not? Company policy isn't set by an unflinshing god, it's set by very real people with goals in mind. One would think those goals were to ensure a certain level of productivity. The company policy of clocking in/out, incidentally, is not in itself being broken. | |
| Jun 1, 2018 at 17:39 | comment | added | Phil M | @bharal the problem with your comment is that if the OP decides to overlook the tardiness because they are productive... the OP is now complacent and ultimately the responsibility will fall on the OP for not addressing this sooner. Company policy is to clock in and out. Period. Accommodations can be made including paid comp time if done the correct way (through HR), but they cannot just be ignored. | |
| May 25, 2018 at 21:13 | comment | added | bharal | @PeterM should really be looked at how much Mike works, not how much the break is. Also needs to be measured against Mike's productivity - if he is 5% more productive than the average, that's 2.6 extra weeks of work each year, this includes his time off. It depends in the end on what drives the company's revenue and profits. Looking at it only in hours is stupid, because companies don't make money because an employee is at a desk. They make money by output. | |
| May 25, 2018 at 20:53 | comment | added | Peter M | I see your points, but that 30 minutes a day is 2 1/2 hours a week, or 130 hours per year. IE the equivalent of 3 1/4 weeks extra vacation per year. Mike may be worth it or he may not be - but it is hardly insignificant | |
