Chiselers
One sure way to destroy good employee relations is to chisel on wages. But companies are doing that with their time clocks constantly. It is a nickel-and-dime ploy but it adds to real money over a year that workers don't get. There is no excuse for it either. The days when pay was calculated by hand are gone and the onerous addition of minutes is taken care of by software. So why do employers keep doing it? Every penny saved in wages drops to the bottom line. Inevitably, a worker will sue for missing income, and the company will have to defend itself in court. That is expensive for employee and employer. It would be far easier if a company compensated people for work done, but the real fear is that it would lead to abuse by employees chiseling the company. Good employee relations should lead to a solution that doesn't compromise the time clock.
