Manager Says I Owe Hours

Post by Syze »

I don't I was able to prove I'm actually 5 minutes over my time so far this week, but even if I was under, do I actually owe?

No.
Ask him to show you the official "banking of hours" agreement instead of the "I make s**t up as I go along" document.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

So on what grounds are they saying you owe hours if you don't? Not that you can ever owe hours, I'm just interested to hear the perverse rationalisation that culminated in this allegation.

I don't know how he had worked it out that I was two hours under my time. As I said, I'm actually 5 minutes over but I also said even if I was under that I didn't owe him anything. He disagreed.

Tell him on your light days you finish on time.

Only if you have a "flex" agreement in place via local agreement. It has to be fixed, as in 30 mins mon/tue etc so people can still make child care arrangements etc.
