Rewired, my employer tried pulling the come in at 7:30 but you don't go on the clock until 8. It only took one mention that "the state labor does not agree with that policy" at a technician meeting before it went away.
We have hand written, or typed, time sheets, which are turned in bi-weekly and they have to be matched up to your job tickets. We have to write a ticket for every day with time in and time out, the guys on service have to have the tickets signed.
It seems that most companies do not have a problem with you putting 8:00 on your time sheet when you really got there at 8:05 or 8:10, as long as you get the job done and don't cause problems for the company.
All the guys in the field also take the trucks home at night. If management wants to check up on your times, they can pull the ez-pass reports, and there have been times where somebody was called into the office because of a discrepancy. 'How were you on site at 8:00 when your ez-pass shows you going through the Lincoln tunnel at 9:00...'
