When an employer asks you to come to work 5 minutes before your shift starts, they are asking you to work over 20 unpaid hours over the course of a year. amirite
I think in situations like this they're trying to get away without paying you extra. Saying "it's only 5 minutes, you're not being a team player" and so on.
We have a 7 minute grace period that counts at 15 minutes in either direction. If I’m scheduled at 1 and clock in at 12:53, it still counts as 1 in the computer. Working 6 days a week X 5 minutes a day would average out to 26 hours a year of unpaid labor.
That would be a violation if the government officials. Some companies are very very careful of employee hrs. I know at walmart they fire people who are not right on the time in or out. Gosh I couldn't stand it, I have usually been on salary never punching a clock, last time i did that i was very young and worked at zayers for a summer.
It’s a union job, so the rules are a bit different. Plus it’s very easy to abuse to my advantage, i.e. I can clock in up to 7 minutes late and it still counts as on time. So I can squeeze about 36.4 hours of pay per year for stuff I never did. Similarly, I can clock out 7 minutes early and same story.
If I were dedicated enough, I could get paid for 73 more hours of work than I actually did per year.
Depends how they pay you.
For my employer, it would pay 0.1 hour overtime.

Yes. You also get paid to dump, and that is about equal to your vacation time every year.
