To be honest, if my gaffer says start at 6 I’ll usually get there at 5.50, just for the reason I don’t like rushing around to get out the yard and beat the traffic, 10 mins makes little difference but I think it’s the mindset that you’ve got no reason to rush.Plus why should he pay me to make a coffee before the times he’s asked me in.
When I clock off if the time reads 15:38 I’ll have 15:45 on my timesheet, if I clock off at 15:34 then I’ll put 1530. I think this way it will almost always even itself out
That’s how we work. If start time is 07.00 and someone is there 06.50 they’ll start doing whatever is needed, or maybe stick their head in the office door for a chat instead; if someone comes in at 07.10, then it isn’t the end of the world. And they do the round up and down thing on the timesheet, occasionally someone pushes their luck and we un-push it
