the diad gets the time and gps location of every stop. you will find yourself in hot water for his sooner or later since the reports exist to point out the "accounting error." you can't blame the company for this one though - thank the drivers in CA for the lawsuit that made ups have to micromanage your lunch time.
Thanks A.H.,
for making a point that I would like to address in this discussion.
One can type in any time for lunchtime.(required by union contract).
The DIAD can prove that one did not steal time, when one is observed eating,resting or goofing off, by the time stamp on every delivery.
If one, takes the same amount of time off for lunch, but at a different time shown on the DIAD, it can easily be explained by time and safety constraints.
So I stand with my original post statement;
"It is not a falsifaction of the time taken for lunch, just an accounting error of when it occurred.( I just read that last sentence and realized I should have been a lawyer.)
Any sane manager/sup would know why you are in the building hanging around."
On the other hand.
Say, you punch in lunch from 12 to 1 and the delivery records show you worked in that time frame. You punch out, without taking lunch. Will the company fire you for falsifying records?
When has that ever happened?(can you say never)
What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Toonner should just have an honest discussion with her center manager and explain the situation.
If that doesn't work, well there are some good lawyer's out there,, if she was terminated over this issue.
