855170 2010-02-04 04:04:00 Hey guys, was wondering if anyone knew the legal jizz-jazz around docking pay? At my work (without saying where) we are docked 15 minutes pay if we clock in a minute overtime from lunch, etc- Im not sure that this is fair or legal?

Also, do businesses have to provide payslips? Or only some way to access them?

Cheers

Rick

855171 2010-02-04 04:13:00 1* It is illegal not to provide payslips.

2* If ever they ask you to work extra hours, how do they pay ( like 15 minutes extra if you work say 5 mins over the hour )?

If not it is not on, it needs to be a 2 way thing. If you want to approach them do it in a FRIENDLY manner.

1* So, do they actually have to give you payslips? The only way we can access payslips is via a computer in the staffroom . To have them printed we have to go to the office and ask .

2* No, you have to work the full 15 minutes to receive extra pay .

re 2* They need to be approached and the question put. If you have a union which I never have had perhaps they may assist here.

855175 2010-02-04 04:23:00 I watched a bloke who was less than 1 minute late being advised he would be docked 30 minutes. He just wandered off and said see you in 27 minutes. R2x1 (4628)

Awesome, will do that. No, we don't have a union. Not worth all of the trouble it would cause

855177 2010-02-04 04:25:00 Oh wow, just found this on the employment relations website:

DOES AN EMPLOYER HAVE TO PROVIDE A PAYSLIP?
While paper or electronic payslips are still very common in many workplaces, unless there is an agreement to do so, an employer is under no specific legal obligation to provide a payslip. In the interests of ensuring that everyone understands when and how wages or salaries have been calculated and paid, however, an employee has the right to access or obtain a copy of the employer's wage and time records relating to that employee. This record must be kept by the employer for each of their employees. It would include details such as, but not limited to:

The kind of work the employee does
The amount of hours/days that the employee works
The wages paid to the employee each week and the method of calculating those wages
The nature of the employment agreement

855178 2010-02-04 04:32:00 I have worked for a number of large organisations. Pay slips does not need to be provided to you. If they are not provided to you, you can access them on the Intranet (not Internet) and print them for yourself.

Your thread reminds me of a short stint when I worked for a call centre position.

End of each week the managers would print each person's week out and see what time they logged on and what time they logged off and analyse it person by person line by line and then make deductions off their pay. They will also monitor any phonecalls you made, even if local and ask to see your notes such as description of the call, time and date and the customers #. If no, then calls are charged to you.

If you were offline and had to write something up cos someone rang in and threatened you, even if you spent 15mins and were assisted by a manager. That same manager when they look at your profile just says shouldn't of taken you 15, should of been 5, so 10mins deducted off your pay. Also they are not time in office, it was time when you were logged onto the phones.

One guy got sick of phones so he just answered each phone and hanged up each time, when they did looked at his report - they deducted a whole weeks pay off him :D

I just don't want to go in and ask about it without having my facts right .

Ive always thought though, legally, that Employers would have to pay employees for all time worked that is within the agreed hours .
