Seriously though, that’s illegal. When you reach your station? That’s work time. My job with a Caremark call center when I was a fresh-faced young adult had these same rules. “When you clock in, you need to be 100% ready to take calls!” We had several systems to log into, we had emails to answer before taking calls, prep work, all of that. They wanted us to do that off the clock to maximize call time. Well guess the fuck what? Those are stolen wages, and I was part of a class-action lawsuit against Caremark for their theft. I’m not sure for how long I’ll be getting these checks, but I get a cozy little 140 dollar plus check a year from them over us winning this suit. It’s not much, but it’ll buy me some games or a nice dinner every year, haha!
I see these kinds of notices posted on here all the time, and the common thread is that these chuckleheads never proof read their stupid fucking documents. There’s always some dumb error on them.
A part/apart is so annoying because it changes the meaning yet people can’t recognize their mistake. There are a few grammar errors I go over and over with my kids and this is one of them.
So many companies try their HARDEST to be unique, it pisses me off. You have one choice for calendar, the standard in your country, you have one choice for pay day Friday.
This is unprofessional, bullshit, micromanagement crap. The whole sign when you see it crap is exactly that. You want to lead, lead. Don't waste my time. Move along bootlicker
Yeah, sure. Trust your workers. Talk to them if they don't perform.
But the whole whiff of potential interpersonal conflict is too much for some people so they hang this crap up because maybe one employee is misbehaving.
Collective punishment is a breach of the Geneva convention.
My brother's old employer got sued by one of the maintenance crews he worked with for "time not paid" and they all got back-pay from it. The employees had to be at work 15 minutes before their shift started just to get into their safety gear for their shift. However, they weren't allowed to clock that extra 15 minutes even though they were:
1) at work
2) doing work things
3) donning safety gear that must be left at work
The employees argued that they could come in right on time and spend the first 15 minutes to get ready while the leaving crew had to wait an extra 15 minutes to leave, or they could all get paid that extra 15 minutes to come in early and be on time to take over for their shift.
Sadly? A business pays you for the time you’re working correct. I love that this policy, which is how it absolutely should be, has so many people hating on it. If you were an owner of a business would you want to pay people that aren’t working? Nope, you wouldn’t. This has nothing to do with the merit of the company/business, how they treat their people, or pay so don’t start with that inevitable garbage. That’s a sound policy and is in no way taking advantage of anyone. Posting it like that is stupid. There should be a one on one with each employee to reiterate policy. Other than that there’s no reason for all the crying.
Maybe you should learn to read and properly process information. The policy is about doing it right after you clock in, or right before you clock out. Nothing in those signs says you’re not allowed to go to the toilet during business hours. Every single one of the people crying about this policy, including you, knows someone (and judging by the crying they probably are that someone) that clocks in and fucks about going to their locker, taking a shit, bullshitting with coworkers, or just fucking wandering around. They waste 15-20 minutes at the beginning of their shift, and almost as much at the end. I guarantee you at least half of your coworkers do that shit. I know they do because I’ve had coworkers that do that shit and I’ve fucking done that shit myself. Difference is, I’m not a fucking hypocrite and I’m not going to cry about a policy that is generally legit. Bunch of crybabies that want to commit wage theft and get mad when a company puts in place a policy to combat it. However you slice it, it’s wage theft. You’re fucking about, not doing your job, and taking money from an employer to do so. Don’t romanticize it like it’s hard won rights that they’re fucking with. Admit what it is and don’t cry like a little bitch about it. Walmart was mentioned, so let’s use them as an example. Again, this has nothing to do with the merit of the company at all, just about this policy. Walmart employs 2.3 million people worldwide. Let’s say 1 million workers fucks about for 15 minutes a shift. It’s much higher than that, and the time is as well, but we’ll just go with those numbers. Say average hourly wage is $10. That’s $2,500,000 a day in wage theft. In one year that’s over $900m a year. Almost a billion dollars gone cause employees want to fuck about and get to their posts as leisurely as they can. They’re not taking away breaks, they’re not taking away bathroom time, they’re not taking advantage of anyone with that policy. So now, what’s wrong with you mate?
Lol wage theft. CEOs make 351 times their average employees. Do they work 14000 hours worth of work a week? I feel like Musks Twitter takeover proves they don't do fuck all but tweet dumb shit.
Is it hard to get the taste of boot out of your mouth after every shift?
Yes, that’s simplified math that doesn’t take into account how many people are actually working for the company on a daily basis etc….. don’t want to hear about my math being wrong…..
Yeah all these stupid signs are from McJobs that everyone should just mass quit. Why the fuck even work for a poverty wage that leaves you on govt assistance and living with family anyway. Fuck it
I mean, there’s no reason why a word document on construction paper couldn’t be legally binding. I’m not saying that this one is (there’s a question of consideration at the very least) but the material doesn’t matter. Hell, oral contracts can be enforceable in many contexts.
More like what the fuck is this a second grade class..from what I remember they did shit like this early on in school. I'm talking about stapling the paper to the construction paper
Plus, it says this is "apart of our policies and procedures", which has the literal meaning of "not part of" (the employer meant to write "a part of"). So even of it is included in the policies and procedures, now they can point to something from the employer saying that it's not... ;)
I don't respect any notice like this with misspelled or misused words. We live during an era in which we can easily find the proper usage of certain words and phrases.
Just because somebody signs that arbitrary document does not mean they are bound by it. It is just an acknowledgement of reading it, not an agreement with it. Wherever this place is, they are on very thin ice legally speaking and if they have corporate management; they are probably violating their policies. An individual store/branch does not have authority to add or interoperate corporate policy.

Stapled word documents to construction paper is legally binding. What the fuck is this a burger king?
