[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have hourly employees recently assigned to me.

I found out they are in a catch 22 situation. OT is very rare and must be pre-approved. So they all “punch the clock” exactly their work hours.

Now my firm does pay a bonus. But mainly exempt employees. The on the clock people often get like $200 to $1,000 a year. The catch 22 bonus is paid for added work but they don’t get paid OT so all leave on time each day and illegal to make then work unpaid OT.

[b]How do you motivate them?[/b] For instance if I take then to lunch they got to punch out so just adds to work day. They also have set breaks and lunch periods. It seems very outdated.

So, my read of what you want is "how do I make them work beyond their work hours w/o paying them OT"? What a sicko. [/quote]

I was on the clock for a few years start of career. Yes I went to holiday party, drinks with boss and people at work maybe 30-40 times a year, took full lunch, went to white elephants, summer picnic. I moved up quickly.

That's nice, but probably doesn't work as well now.

No one is going to do all.that for the *possibility* of moving up at a place with a "clock in out" set schedule workplace culture. Also, there is the possibility that they will be accused of not being at work, if they don't drive to work and "clock in."

I had this happen in my career, all the extra hours and hard work meant absolutely nothing, because of the clock in, clock out culture was all that mattered. I found another job in a more progressive firm and moved up.[/quote]
