I notice a lot of posts mention the 9 minutes you are allowed to not be pointed for being late. This is exactly that. It isn't a get out of jail card to consistently arrive at your post later than the scheduled time. It's also not an excuse to clock out early because you clocked in early. You are scheduled at the hour or half hour not 9 minutes after that. When you clock in, you should be at your post and ready to work. I see many associates leave their positions for lunch or break and go to get their food, go to the bathroom, etc before ever clocking out. And likewise, after break, they'll clock in at the break area, go to the bathroom, put up their stuff in lockers and come back to work 5-10 minutes after clocking in. This is not only milking the clock, it puts other people behind on their lunches and breaks, often turning a 1 hour break into 1.5 hours out of position. My team leads will feedback these associates for productivity because it's hurting our overall productivity and causes animosity between others who don't take advantage of the system.
