[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Am i the only one that sort of feels like they can understand where the boss is coming from? If work ends at 6 but an employee leaves every day for a week at 4:30, that’s 7.5 hours of time, which is basically a workday. Apart from the burned half hour, whats the objection to using 8 hours of PTO?

Not trying to be inflammatory, just curious. Maybe I don’t get the whole exempt non-exempt thing or maybe I don’t have the same sort of job as you all. [/quote]

The issue is when the employer happily expects employees to work late to meet deadlines but won't extend that flexibility to the employee when the employee needs it.  OP said the employee was working in the evening to complete their work and there was no business impact due to leaving early, this was just an employer being a pain.  [/quote]

Quoted poster. I see. I guess I just missed that OP finishes working from home in the evening. I think I agree with the consensus then, but it doesn’t strike me as totally self-evident, given that the higher-ups thought it important to set core business hours for the employees, and it’s not like employees get input into decisions like that.

In my experience core hours aren't a full day of work. My office has core hours of 9:30-3. Everyone is expected to be in the office during that time, but you can begin work at 9:30 or end at 3, and work 8 hours around those core hours. If you're setting core hours as the full 8 hour work day those aren't core hours they're just the hours of the job.[/quote]
