Reading the comments made I'm thinking about my first day on the job and the words of wisdom given to me by my DM (district manager) at the time. Simply put he told me while on probation there are two no no's. First was do not mark off. Second was do not show up late... ever!
Fast forward to now (3 years later and still never late).... yesterday I got a call from one of my assistant managers and asked me if I was late to work last Friday and the answer was no. However because of big brother (or Kronos) I was to be docked 30 minutes. Because me manager knows me never to be late he was able to question me while validating the payroll for the week.
The real reason that Kronos was showing the dock was because I was diverted to a different job that day. Instead of my regular job, a 8 1/2 hour job with a 30 minute unpaid dinner break I worked a 8 hour job with a paid 20 minute break. The start times were the same but the quit time was 1/2 difference. As a result the timekeeper wasn't made aware of the diversion and calculated the time based on my regular job #.
