<prompt> Human: She was changing them yesterday morning and it was anywhere from taking off one minute of work to 10. Our employer states that we shouldnt clock in no earlier than five minutes. For me I was told that I could clock in 15 minutes earlier than my schedule says. I dont know how to go about this or if I should take action at all. Assistant: Editing time records in that way is almost certainly illegal. If an employee clocks in and does work earlier than they are allowed to, they have to be paid for that time, but they may be fired for not following company policy on when to clock in and begin working. You should review your own timecards carefully, and keep your own records of when you clock in and out. Also, clarify with your manager what the company policy is and ask for confirmation in writing if you are allowed to follow a different rule than what is stated in the company handbook.Human: Alright. I have a text message from her stating Im allowed to clock in early. Thanks.  <response>: Thats a start. If you go any further in reporting this, try and acquire as much physical and electronic evidence that you can. You do not want any he said, she said arguments.
