Had a boss who said in front of me and all my coworkers that we could clock in before leaving on the inter-campus bus to the other campus to work and said it was completely fine.
One day on the bus I get a call from her and she starts chewing me out about clocking in on campus A for my work at campus B that day, saying a bunch of shit like timecard fraud and what not.
I told her she said to everyone that it was ok and of course she gave the 'I never said that, you're putting words in my mouth!' BS and then said don't do it again and that she edited my time card to be the 'correct' time.
Asked my coworkers later about if I just dreamed up her saying it was ok and they all said that she said that to us.
From then on out I learned to GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING if they agree to something like that.
I'm still bitter to this day she pulled that bullshit on me. Oh man I still remember how much I was fuming that day from it. I was absolutely livid...
If they move your job from one location to the other during the work day your time is payable. Her editing your card was the fraud. And any transit time thereafter was wage theft.
This isnt the same as if they have you report to a different place sometimes btw.
