I am guilty of that myself.  Not every time but sometimes. They makeyou wait 24 hours, that is the problem.  Sometimes, 24 hours later I might be very busy working and that answer ge de-prioritized.

dude, i have the same problem! you've gotta psyche yourself out. you probably already tried it but, set your clock 20 mins. ahead and try to forget that it is.\nOR, what always works for me.....hitch a ride with a coworker that is always on time.....that'll make you hussle so you don't make them wait for you outside. Then it would be being rude to theat person.

Hi Wylien, \n  I can't pick you up cause I don't have no car and I have to GO to work and I need a ride. So if you get someone to pick you up, can you have him/her stop by my place and pick me up, then they can drop you off and bring me to work, then they can go back to bar to see you. \nI can't lose another job for being late. This will be the third this month!!! Help me please!!

No. It is not right. It has been a long time since I have looked at the laws and they might have varied a little in that time. But I do know it used to be anything over five hours you had to have a half hour. Anything over seven hours you are entitled to another half hour.\n\nI will look up and see if I can find recent laws. \nFight your boss and if they will not change then take it to the BBB or the county.

It works for me but I am a morning person.  Other people are not morning people so it is a bit complicated for them!  It depends on your personal clock.

Well, stay up and try to finsh it tonight. Don't stay up too late trying to finsh it because then you will be tried tomorrow. Get up early and work on it. And work on it at lunch. You have more time then you think. If you work hard I know you can finsh. good luck!

Some companies will provide "comp time" if you work extra hours in advance.  Other that that, you would have to negotiate for more time.

No. My poor husband had to work, though! He's an assistant manager at a retail electronics store. His manager told him to be there by 5 a.m. - and they were going to be written up if they didn't, or were late. So - he was there at a quarter till 5; the MANAGER didn't show up till 5.30!

The only time I would have a problem with you is if somebody complaints about you or I thought somebody may have complaints that is not said. If the official starting time is 7 and if nobody else but you are late, it's hard to say it's okay to be late because you are doing a good job. Because if somebody else who are not doing good jobs start coming in late, I have to say to him it's not okay for him because his job is not as good. Then, I have to come up with whole new rules of what you have to do in order to come in late. So, as long as everybody is cool about your coming late, I have no problem.

No, they owe you nothing. Unless you are working for a set salary, your employer has the absolute right to set your standard work hours. If you clock in early, without being directed by an authorized supervisor to do so, then you are, in effect, establishing your own work hours and schedule. Likewise, if you work more than 8 hours, they would be mandated under federal law to pay for the overtime, which they might not have in their budget. The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is very clear about such things. Yes, you can be  "docked" (penalized with loss of pay) for clocking in late, but you're not allowed to sign in to work even a minute before your scheduled starting time. I really wish it were not this way, but imagine what would happen if this were allowed to happen? You clock in 10 minutes before your shift, but I clock in an hour beforehand. Where does a manager draw the line at the definition of "early for work"? To be fair to all, they had to make this an absolute starting time. Sorry! If you want to clock in early, see your manager about adjusting your shift starting time.
