Time Card being tampered with!

I'm not the only one who's noticed it, and this isn't the first time I've noticed it either. I've been shorted before and had it looked into, and was told there had been no adjustment. I chalked it up to being a recording mistake on my part, and made sure I didn't make the same mistake again. This time I know 100% certain that my time card has been adjusted.
Get with your steward and let him know that you want that thief fired for theft and escorted out like they would have no problem doing too you if they caught you stealing 6 mins of there time.

Well I visited with the person who has access to the system and saw with my own eyes when the adjustment was made to my time and who had done it.

It was a start time adjustment that was made at the end of the day, after I had already punched out. Turns out the PC system we use to punch in and out doesn't reflect hour changes, so even at the end of the week when the computer said one thing, it was actually 5 minutes less due to the start time adjustment.

I don't believe it was a malicious act or tampering to make hours look better, I just think the PT made the adjustment and didn't think of how it would affect me, given that I was tracking my hours. They're compensating me plenty of extra time to make up the difference.

However, the reason I was so irritated by it was because I've been pursuing a scholarship for school and am required a certain number of hours per week or work hours+community service hours to equal the number of required hours per week. Because I thought I had gotten the required hours for the week, I did no CS work to make up the difference, and thus I have a paycheck reflecting too few hours.

I'm hoping the "Adjust time" on my next check and an explanatory note from my management will correct the issue and I'll still qualify for my scholarship.

Anyhoo, my PT sup's have been made well aware that a lot of us are tracking our hours and they can't just willy-nilly make adjustments to peoples time like that.

And so ends my saga of time card tampering. And we all lived happily ever after ;-)

One of our p/t supes was almost fired for refusing to "fix" a time card. Another one got caught doing it and still works here five years later.

I just noticed this today, a little different than the op, but I was asked to come in @ 3:30 (4am start time in the system).. and at 8:30 when I punched out I was 30 mins short. Now I'm thinking, I was asked to come in at 3:45 3 days last week as well, I'm sure the same thing happened, but I cannot remember when I punched out? Who/where do I go to get a printout of my punches.. and will they have the report/start/end times like on the screen so I can be sure that I didn't get shorted the time I worked?

Your FT sup. Adjustments need to be made by noon Monday(at least here) for it to be on the correct check.
