written up for leaving at assigned time?
Permalink   


i am in the PHARMACY dept, as a tech. today the pharmacist on duty threatened to write me up for leaving five minutes after the shift was over.

it was slow all day and then a customer showed up two minutes before close to drop off a script from the ER. i did my duty and then i got my stuff to leave.

she said are you sure about that? and said she had already written up two other techs for leaving before everyone else.

there was one tech operating the drive-thru, and two other techs besides me were standing around waiting to leave.

to me, this is a waste of our time and also the company's. (if you make it eight minutes past, you get paid for fifteen)

last i heard leaving on time was not even actionable, but since our department is non-union i'm uncertain.

can someone please provide a reference on the company's policy, or direct me to someone to ask (anonymously)?

Unless you are asked to stay over 2 hours before the end of your shift you are expected to leave on time. All overtime has to be approved by management.

If the pharmacy lead wanted you to stay past your shift, you should have been asked ahead of the time your shift ended. And not at the last second or minute or whatever nor with an, ''are you sure?'' Also, keeping people around for no reason on a slow day with others taking care of the rest of the area is a waste of time. When the shift is done and everything is tidied up I'm long gone and not looking back.
