Balancing work schedule and family time

Date: Aug 17, 2018

It blows my mind when I read on this forum about people not getting paid for all hours worked! Do daily inquiries on the time clock, at the end of each shift. Know and/or write down exact days, times, hours worked. Review your paycheck 'stub' online.

Greatpeople.me to check schedule. It is not always accurate. If he has a phone, he could take a picture of the schedule posted at work. His schedule can not be changed after Saturday at noon under most contracts without his consent.

As above poster stated, I always keep track of my hours and double check against the paystub weekly.

You can inquiry all day long. Some front end people refuse to override, and once you need a comanager to put your time in kronos its up in the air whether theyll do it right or do it at all. Some will purposefully cut you 15-30 minutes OT or even straight time on a shift here or there.

Kroger is by far and long the worst company Ive worked for about proper paychecks. Id say about 1 in 5 or 7 are wrong. At an older store of mine, it was just about every other week. Before Kroger, in 7 years of employment, I only once had a wrong paycheck.

If you do see an incorrect inquiry, or paycheck, going to them about it could get you harassed. Happened to me, happened to the guy before me. Will happen to the one after too. One guy told me I was a liar about my times, even though I had them written and there are cameras. I think they just hoped I wouldnt catch them. After a while I would have rather died than go and speak to them. Guess they won in the end.

I don't think the company can give out that information to anyone, but the employee. You can call and see if they are there, but you can't get private information. It sounds like you are having doubts that he is working when he says he's working. Show up or call and ask for his department. Also the only ones who usually work that many hours are salary paid, not paid y the hour.

Yep, he's cheating on you, for sure! Kroger isn't going to intentionally cheat someone out of 20 hours of pay! He's straight up busted!

I wasn't going to say it. Glad you did.

Kroger doesn't exactly allow 20 hours of ot to begin with.

If you attempt to clock in it'll record the attempt even if it won't let you clock in. I tell everyone to try punching even if they know it won't work because then there's a record they were there.

If you got shorted on hours and management didnt pay you for it if you had proof, you could sue the **** out of them
