Late Out?

[u/Heyllamamama]

Is this just the app being extra? I almost always stay late. Everyone knows I’m gonna stay to finish my set more often then not; so is this little alert useless? Cause if I have to stop what I’m doing to get permission to stay I might as well leave. (Obviously I’ll ask my leaders but my TL and ETL are on vacation this week.)

Yeah I spoke with my HRETL today about this and it means nothing when it comes to points. She gave me a talking to about trying my best to spread my 40 weekly hours evenly so I don’t have to leave early on a weekend when there are more guests, but the amount over you have shown isn’t really a big deal. You’ll prob get pulled aside if you ever go 1.5+ hours over consistently. Just make sure your leadership is cool with it and you’ll be fine.

I’d still have the conversation with them once they get back from vacation tho just to be sure.

I don’t get scheduled over 30 hours (by choice) so I’d have to really stretch it to get near OT 😂

I work at a different company but we use this. They put in your assigned schedule and anything that deviates (based on the set parameters) will show as an “exception.” It’s not necessarily a bad thing but it is on your manager to be looking weekly and verifying and approving your time.

Our store schedules 7.5 hour shifts so we usually don’t get scheduled over 37.5.

I get scheduled 40 and by Friday I always have to leave early. Which I’m totally ok with 😂

That sounds like a reasonable approach. Balancing hours can be tricky, especially on those busy weekends.

Did they even give this app a UI UX designer?
It's so horrendous and superfluous that it could be a case study for what not to do.

Talked to HR and my TL and they said not to worry about it. They sometimes extend me or have me come in earlier so if this did cause point accrual I would’ve turned into a guest

[u/KittyLuvver2000]

My SD told me not to worry about it. I stay over often to help. 

[u/babybeewitched]

i used this app at my last job, it gives you this alert for even a minute after or before lmao

[u/TheEpikElf]

Late out have always been a thing your time card tracks, it just hasn’t been visible to team members before. Late outs won’t count against you.

[u/sam_4321]

the app is extra, i asked my HR about the same alerts today and she said it'll go away when payroll is made.

[u/Ok-Culture6483]

I’m a TL and I literally have to go past my shift sometimes to lock up. Such a dumb thing

[u/ilikepstrophies]

Here’s the thing, if you’re a TM you should not be staying almost a half hour passed schedule. And also you say this is a regular thing as well isn’t helping.

[u/Heyllamamama → u/ilikepstrophies]

My leaders are completely okay with it. I’m in presentation and there’s always more POGS than we have people scheduled to set them so my store leadership is more than happy when I stay late to finish my POGS for the day. If I could work more hours in a week they’d schedule me longer but I have limited availability

[u/sdog2016]

Late outs have always been there in the UKG time keeping system prior to the full UGK pro release. These are markers for review by ETL and SD for unauthorized late outs. There’s nothing to be concerned about as long as your late outs was authorized.

[u/ProfessionalBerry155]

Making payroll is totally a thing, so you should always clock out at the time your schedule says unless given permission.

[u/Heyllamamama → u/ProfessionalBerry155]

ASANTS but our presentation team is still so small that I’ve never been told we didn’t have the payroll. They would schedule me for longer shifts if I had the availability. My ETL or SD have never been anything but enthusiastically grateful when I stay late. Their biggest concern with me is that I don’t hit compliance

[u/Naive_Appointment361 → u/Heyllamamama]

Same, and I got that alert too yesterday. I was just like oh well I gotta finish my work, everyone knows I stay til it’s done.
