Abuse of Overtime
I'd like opinions on this please. I've noticed that a guy I work with comes in to work between 30-45 minutes early and sits drinking tea instead of starting work. When he's on a late shift he's meant to start work at 10.30am but he comes in before 10.00, clocks on and then either sits in the locker room or the canteen for…
