Legal help

I've done that a few times when I first started working at the college. Luckily, I had bosses that were fairly understanding about someone forgetting to clock in. Instead of punching it in at a time clock, we had some sort of program on the computer where we clock in and out and can edit our time but had to write an explaination for why it was edited. The edited/added time would turn yellow until the supervisor looked it over and approved.

However, many people have figured out how to pull up the time clock on their computers and have clocked in even when they were sitting in their dorms. My main boss tried to fix that by requiring employees to sign a time log as well (though not the best solution).

Him signing that paper basically states that she can legally ignore paying him for those hours. However, if he had witnesses--and he doesn't work for a stipend, but actual minimum-wage or higher pay--then there may be a small chance he can get away with a law suit (there have been harder cases won). Frankly, most bosses will allow for a few slip-ups as long as they trust the employee. However, if the woman is very strict or just a total bitch, then he has a problem.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
