00:00We don't pay you to be two minutes late. Over the course of a year, it's hundreds of dollars.

00:03Then I find out an interesting detail. I've worked at many retail chains. I've had many

00:06terrible bosses. Here's one story I think I can give up without any repercussions.

00:10At a small specific retail store five or six years ago at this point,

00:13I was confronted by my old boss on a specific event that I was late by two minutes.

00:16Previous day, he had asked me to come in on my day off and at an earlier time than I normally do.

00:20I agreed to come in on my day off and work a shift I'm not normally used to.

00:23But it's retail. It cannot be that difficult.

00:25My old boss asked me to work 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and I showed up at 7.02 a.m.

00:28Which in my state, there is a five-minute window for everyone.

00:30And this was 100% not a habit of mine.

00:32I'm normally one to show up five minutes early every day and wait beside the time clock.

00:36I clocked on and walked to my department with a drink I had already purchased the previous day.

00:39As I walked into the department, the manager greeted me then said,

00:41When I schedule you at 7 a.m., I expect you to be in department by 7 a.m., not a minute later.

00:46We can't pay you to clock on, buy something, and then start working.

00:48Over the course of a year, that adds up to hundreds of dollars of lost labor for one individual.

00:52I told my old boss that my drink was from the previous day and that I just clocked on two minutes late.

00:56My old boss replied with,

00:57That's not my problem. You need to plan better.

00:58You were scheduled at 7, and we're losing cost of labor each minute you're not here.

01:01Be in department at scheduled time.

01:03Which is not true.

01:03I spoke regularly with a payroll employee, and she explained to me quite some time prior

01:07that the company does not pay you three minutes before or after your scheduled time.

01:10So if you clock on at 7 a.m., you're not getting paid until 7.03.

01:13If you clock on at 6.57, you're not getting paid until 7.

01:16Same for when you return from lunch.

01:17However, if you clock on at 7.04 or after that three-minute window, you begin getting paid immediately that minute.

01:22My boss was right. I need to plan better.

01:23I asked for a printout of my timestamps, going back as far as they had record of.

01:26And I tallied up each day that I had arrived three minutes early and did not get paid for it.

01:29I counted well over 330 minutes within a three-month span that I was not getting paid for.

01:33Which ended up being a little over 110.

01:35I gave my old boss a copy and said,

01:36You can pay me for these dates where I was in department on the dot without getting paid for it.

01:40My old boss then replied,

01:41That's not how our company policy works.

01:42He then went into detail to explain to me exactly what I had already known.

01:45And gave him a copy of.

01:46Yet my boss is now recognizing that he's contradicted himself and willingly lied to me.

01:49When everything clicked in his head that he's contradicted himself,

01:51It was far too obvious because his face went bright red and he started smiling.

01:54In my opinion, like he'd been caught.

01:55My old boss, well you know the policy, we can't pay you for that.

01:58Me, then I will begin my shift when I'm getting paid.

02:00Not the minute you schedule me.

02:01It's not like you're losing labor if you're not even paying the employees that window of time.

02:04Schedule me at 7 if you like,

02:05but I will not be clocking on until four minutes after the scheduled time.

02:07As you will not be losing any cost of labor for it,

02:09and I will not be losing pay over your personal policy.

02:11For about three weeks, I clocked on four minutes late every day,

02:14no matter how early I arrived.

02:15I eventually got a warning from the building's HR that it's riding the line

02:18and very close to getting a write-up.

02:19And down the discipline road, I explained to her the entire story

02:22as she seemingly did not like this manager of mine either.

02:24She laughed pretty hard at the whole thing

02:25and offered me an apartment transfer with a higher pay.

02:27She reminded me that my behavior was listed under a category that could get me terminated

02:30and thought the transfer would be a fresh start.

02:32Instead, I put in my two weeks notice and thanked her for the wonderful opportunity.

02:35The funniest part of all of this,

02:36years later, I saw my old manager working at a new chain

02:38in a similar position to what he was doing when I worked for him.

02:40He smiled, waved, I smiled, waved, continued on.

02:43As time went on, I also bumped into the old HR manager

02:45who was working in an entirely different field.

02:47I asked her why my old boss left that company.

02:49She laughed and said he didn't leave, we fired him for time theft.

02:52Apparently my old boss would take a lunch, leave the building, and never clock out for it.
