Agree. I am early for work by 10-15 minutes every day yet at least twice a week my bosses come home late. If I'm supposed to be off at 6:00 and they walk in the door at 6:05 and then expect me to sit there and talk about how the day went, it's not right. It goes both ways. Flexibility is important, but employers need to have some respect for their employees and recognize that they may have somewhere to be once their hours are done. And just because you are a few minutes late doesn't mean you don't have to compensate me for my time.[/quote]

I don't agree that 5 minutes late is a big deal. I know that I like to take a few minutes to talk to my MBs before I leave, even if it isn't about the job but just a few things that we had talked about before. I don't ever expect for them to get home (or when my time is over) and for me to walk right out the door. I know that I generally end up leaving about 10 minutes later than when I get off (sometimes 15 minutes if we really get talking), and so I plan my activities after work with me leaving to be able to get somewhere 15 nminutes AFTER when I get off work. I work multiple PT positions where the parents are generally on time so I don't run into ones being late often, but I usually don't plan very important things for right after work anyways. If I end up having to stay an extra 30 minutes, it won't kill me and I will just end up going grocery shopping or whatnot 30 minutes later. As long as I am paid for my time, and they let me know the day before if they will need more for longer than 30 minutes, I am good. I never like being late, even if something happens on my commute, so I make sure I leave a bit early and might spend a few minutes at a cafe or something before work to waste the last few minutes for those times when I can't show up too early.[/quote]
