We clock in at 6.30 stay for 4 hrs clock out
Times on payslip show we started at 7 so lost half hr a day
No explanation given no warning given

Re: Clocking in times

What time do you start work? (Not clock on time).

[Juliette]

Re: Clocking in times

Irs 7 till 11 but we were told if 6.30 was better to do that till 10.30
Been doing that for a year but last 2 pay slips show started 7 till 10.30

Have you spoken to HR about the error?

Re: Clocking in times

Never signed a contract
Was just told we could do 6.30 till 10.30 or 7 till 11
For some reason after doing 6.30 to 10.30 they have manually changed it to say 7 to 10.30 making us loose half hr a day
Surely they should have warned us not just stopped wages

Re: Clocking in times

Not yet
None of us want to upset the boss or loose our jobs
We dont know how to handle the situation

Re: Clocking in times

I would treat it as though it was just an error on their part and speak to boss / HR dept.

Re: Clocking in times

Ok but its been going on for 3 months
Short on wages not getting what expected each month without warning is wrong

Re: Clocking in times

Was the error raised as soon as it occurred?

We noticed it this month but checking last months payslip it happened last month also

Re: Clocking in times

Is this unlawful deduction of wages?

Raise it with HR before deciding what to do next.

Re: Clocking in times

Firstly it seems that you do not have a contract of employment stating hours if work - am I correct?

If this was a verbal agreement and you have been doing this pattern of 6.30 to 10.30 for a year it could be viewed as custom an practice, although you say that they picked this up 2 months ago.

As previously advised you need to speak to HR or your manager if there is no HR department to get clarity on the situation. Just ask if there has been an error and see what they have to say.
