My CEO hates WFH with a passion.
His policy is now. 100 percent in office. No Flex Time to hours worked. No laptops No email on phone. Swipe out at lunch and back in if leave building Runs weekly reports on time in office he reviews and will write you up Doctors appointments or stuff need to take off. He then to my shock decided code 99 percent of employees as hourly with a 40 hour work week. Work 7 hours 45 minutes you get docked 15 minutes pay. |

| This means work stays at work. No after hours, no weekends, and if you have to work late, you get paid time and a half. |

| I’m not sure all of that is legal. If an hourly employee works more than 40 hours per week, what do they get paid for the extra hours? |

Mine has been just as strict since fall 2021.
100% in person Set hours, no flexibility to leave early/stay late If you’re more than 5 minutes late you get docked leave (can only take in one hour increments) One coworker took her lunch at a different time than assigned and got docked an hour of leave All leave requests must have doctors note No overtime |

| That is ridiculous. Who would stay in a job like that? Or even accept one in the first place? |

| The kind of person that implements a policy this strict is going to be a controlling ahole so I would look for another job. |

| Exemp be no exempt isn’t something that is “just decided.” There are rules governing whether an employee is classed as hourly or not. Anyway, sounds miserable. What keeps you there? |

The only goo thing about that is work stays at work. No thinking about work or working even 5 minutes after that 8 hours is up.
It's very old school, and doesn't work unless the employer give you enough paid sick leave, but some people prefer this model..I don't, but when I worked in a place like this, the only advantage was I only worked those 8 hours a day and not a minute more. |

So in the situation where the coworker was docked an hour of leave for lunch, but she still worked her 8 hours, how was that treated if there’s no overtime? She worked an hour she just didn’t get paid for? That’s not how this works under the law. |

She worked during her regular 30 minutes of lunch. For the other 30 minutes she ate lunch. She was charged an hour of leave because it’s the minimum amount of time we can take leave in. The work she did during the 30 minutes of lunch is irrelevant to the boss because it wasn’t the assigned work at that time. |

So you don't take any work home, and you get overtime if you work 40 hours 15 minutes? That sounds amazing. Where do you work? Are they hiring? |

I think there are rules about who can be exempt. Are there rules about who can be hourly? I thought the rules basically say you have to be hourly if A, B, or C, not that they can't make other people hourly. |
