[QUOTE="soberups, post: 638395, member: 14668"] At what point, however, does the company have an obligation to reduce the delays [I]it [/I]has intentionally created in allowing its employee to get to the timeclock on time? If I show up for work on time and am denied access to the facility due to a company-caused delay at the guard shack, why is that[I] my[/I] responsibility? At some point, the delay becomes [I]unreasonable [/I]and the company needs to either; hire adequate security so that the line of people moves at a realistic pace....or move the timeclocks outside of the guard shack so that the employees can clock in prior to waiting in line to be searched. Comparing the delay at the guard shack to the issues in finding parking is inaccurate. The company is not responsible for lack of parking on public property; but it [I]is [/I]responsible for the level of security it chooses to impose upon its employees prior to entry. What it appears that they have done here is to shift the "cost" of the security procedures back onto the employees by expecting them to arrive early and wait in line [I]on their own time[/I] to be searched by an understaffed guard force. Then, to add insult to injury, they charge these employees for being "tardy" even though in reality they had reported on time and ready to work and were simply unable to gain entry to the facility.
