Don’t dock pay for time-Clock mistakes

05/01/2005

Q. We dock employees' pay by 15 minutes if they don't punch in or out on their timecards. If this happens more than twice over any 90-day period, we write up the employee. We've recently been told that we shouldn't have such a policy. Is that correct? If so, how can we make sure employees punch in? —K.K., Michigan
