[quote=Anonymous][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 It seems very outdated.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.

This guy we literally are having a catered breakfast at a hotel next to work that is optional 8-9am in two weeks. He asked how does he punch in? He was going to go to office at 750 an punch in then go breakfast.

I am letting him do it as we were planning on paying all the folks that hour. But the balls to be one to ask to get paid to eat breakfast

This is where he needs mentoring. I will always pay him but asking really [/quote]

Catered breakfast was your/management idea and was optional right? I think it's well within his right to get paid. Something is very wrong with you OP. [/quote]

Of course he gets paid but you don’t ask your boss. I had a dick years ago an exempt worker we had holiday part at Four Seasons huge fancy over top celebration and everyone bringing spouses. This one guy said my wife don’t work here why should she go. I said everyone’s spouse is going including the CEO wife and my wife and my CEO actually told me looking forward to meeting all the spouses. He then goes it is mandatory?

I was like WTF 🤬 then a few weeks later he asks me for a promotion. He then put down attending our annual lunch where we go to restaurant across street and I paid was an accomplishment on his annual reviews. He was so toxic. When he eventually left on his own after I pip him  I read his emails.

Mind of an insane person. One guy came in one hour late in heavy snowstorms as had to shovel driveway he actually on an email complained to wife about that. It was twice in 8 years. [/quote]
