Sign out when you've done the door2doors.

It makes sod all difference when you sign out of your PDA.
The PDA actuals measure outdoor data and the system knows when you're back in the building.

By not signing out all you end up with is a big red dot on the screen showing where you are and that you're stationary. Some of our guys don't even bother logging out at all but the system kicks you out eventually anyway... most of the time. They can be a bit flaky.
The system I think, presumes you finish 10 mins after getting back to office. That's what we were told when trying to get back our overtime that had been docked anyway.
Overtime shouldn’t be being docked if it was agreed before your left to commence delivery. How/why are you letting them get away with that?

I didn't, don't worry about that. Pressure overtime isn't agreed as you say though, it's just an estimate.

I've badgered manager after manager at my office for an identification card - 8 years I've been in RM now, never had an ID card.

One of the few things I'm not worried about RM doing. :cool Hopefully it may help to rein in some of the ididots that insist on coming in early and working for free. If you can put your hand on your heart and say I'm working all the time I'm paid for then you haven't got a problem.

If you're coming in early for and working for FREE, not taking or claiming Meal Relief, cutting corners, disappearing home an hour early every day .... then I'd suggest you're not going to like this new system. :cuppa
