Hello, I'm a new hire. My supervisor asks us to come in an hour early and I don't think we get paid for it... when I clock in it'll say "Start time: 5:30" and it'll be 4:15. Then when I clock out, it says I worked an hour less than what I really did.
Is this legal? What should I do? Feels like a kick in the ass.
If your still on probation, I don't think you wanna get too crappy. Just my opinion. They will clearly take advantage of you, but I'm not sure about in the unload, still under probation. Take someone else's advice if that's the case.
If probation is over, make sure the sup is telling you to start early. Then let him know you were unable to change your start time when you punched in. If your pay isn't correct, according to the hours you worked, tell him and hand in a grievance. They tend to be reeeaal slow in pay correction. Management gets a LOT faster when penalty pay is in play. Once you file a grievance and get paid for it a couple of times, they'll be real clear about you starting early or not. DON'T WAIT TOO LONG TO FILE ON THE TIMES THEY HAVE NOT PAID YOU CORRECTLY IN THE PAST.
Talk to someone there who has actually filed on this problem. But don't be picking his brain about how and who - IF YOUR NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. It's really aggravating to some of us.
