The company will stop at nothing to avoid recording working hours.
Access control is used to circumvent clocking in and out; as soon as the end-of-work time arrives, the system pops up a notification saying it is time to leave.
However, if the work is not finished and you continue working, the company does not acknowledge those working hours.
The department budget is limited. Unless overtime is required due to an emergency, you can request overtime pay. Working late to accommodate the client’s schedule does not qualify for overtime pay.
