Guest: Make it your obligation to clock out on your own.
With the Fry's cards, people still apply for them so they can get what they want, despite how the economy is. I get a lot of customers who ask to sign up for one.
Department Nine: A hourly paid associate must take at least a 30min break for every five hours worked. thats the law. Its for your protection against being overworked by your employer. and you're bitching about it. ironic...
as far as the CA issue and who the sm or lpm are involved with in your store... its none of your business. Ive found the best solution to all the drama is to focus on your job and putting more money in your pocket. make sales, get paid, and have a nice day! worrying about other associates disciplinary action or sex lives makes things WAY too complicated. TK..
That Guy in Duluth: I can understand the 5 hour thing. Trying to stay within labor laws, and be very reasonable about it too. Though it is a bit silly that they are throwing those curve balls at you. Usually here, they schedule us 4 hour shifts at the most JUST in case a customer decides to take his sweet time. Ask for a schedule with 4 hour shifts instead of 4.5. You have a better chance of not going over.
And yes. If you tell them that you are about to hit 5 hours, they usually let you run to go clock out. They do that for me.
The other thing. The closing manager needs to get your rears out of there by 11PM for those who are about to hit 5 hours. Even then, if you take a lunch at 6-7PM, it is very difficult to even hit the 5 hour mark unless all hell breaks lose on Thursday night.

It's the law... in California?
It's not the law here in Arizona. There are no break laws here.

Obviously you can't read because my complaint is that they are ass covering by threatening suspensions or worse if you happen to go over 5 hours when it's not your fault.

its not your fault? grow up. take some responsibility. punch out before your 5th hour.
Guest: At our store, it is the cashier's responsibility to pull out within 20 minutes before their lunch, punch-out, overtime, or five hour mark. With 20 minutes, the cashiers can easily count their till, organize the receipts, fill out their F8, and get certification- it hasn't been a problem so far. Under no circumstances should a cashier pass their five hour mark, they must leave even if they aren't done with counting. A supervisor may print out a manual F8 and count the till for the cashier granted if the cashier is no longer able to, or the cashier can clock out for 30 minutes and clock back in to finish their till- working off the clock is against company policy.
Regarding the supervisor's case for counting the safe: Supervisors should already have developed excellent time management, and should be able to count the safe before hitting their marks. Sometimes if it is very busy or the hours are set up a little funky between supervisors, the DSC can balance the safe early and place an "acting-DSC" (the supervisor in charge.) The acting-DSC is in charge just like a regular DSC, but they can not give out change till the next supervisor takes over. Acting-DSC is used only in the cases of going to break or lunch, never to go home for the day.
Yeah, you may get in trouble if you're not getting the job done, but it is your responsibility to make it happen and time manage. There are many nifty tricks that cashiers & supervisors can use to avoid their five hour mark. It isn't just company policy, it's the law. You can even be with a customer near your five hour and take them to another associate to help them. The customer still receives help, you clock out before five hours, and the job is done- team work.
Lurch: It's not all that easy for every job in the store, plus the law is 6 hours in Texas so getting written up or even fired for a rule that doesn't even apply to the state you live in doesn't exactly give me the warm fuzzies. I just wish I could sign a waiver or something, some of us like to work for a living!!
