I am a salaried employee, scheduled to work 8-5, M-F, and one Sunday a month for month-end closing. I typically will arrive for work between 7:58 and 8:04. On really, really, bad days, sometimes it’s been 8:06. On Mondays I come in before 7:30 to complete several deadline related reports. I always leave for the day, after 5:00, anywhere between 5:10 and 5:15, sometimes 5:30. In fact, I’m regularly at my desk working (as soon as my computer is booted up) and observing many salaried and hourly employees trickling in after me up to 8:15. It’s also notable that these co-workers make a trip to the break-room for coffee, or to heat up breakfast in the microwave, or visit with their co-workers before any actual work starts.
Additionally, I rarely take any morning or afternoon breaks, and I stick to my one-hour lunch; but sometimes reducing, or skipping it depending of work demands. I also average one sick day a year. Finally, my position is not a time-sensitive one, such as a call center or retail operation where the phones start ringing, or doors open, at 8:00.
Of course, I have a boss who bristles on those days when I arrive after 8:00.
If I were one of those employees who was taking advantage, and abusing the system, e.g.: coming in at 8:20, leaving at 4:50, taking extended lunches, leaving at 3:30 on Fridays to “work from home for the rest of the day,†I’d see her point. However, I don’t take those liberties.
My understanding of being salaried versus hourly, is that one of the “perks,†if you could call it that, or trade-off for not having guaranteed breaks or lunches, and being required to work extended hours without additional compensation, is that I don’t have to sweat the minutiae of extreme punctuality as if I were hourly, and punching a time clock.
My performance reviews, despite being satisfactory on the measures, always include this peeve, though not officially in writing, and it’s starting to bother me. It’s to the point I want be defiant (albeit professionally) the next time she brings it up, point out the facts I’ve described here, and take a “deal with it†attitude.
Any advice?
