What if your boss tells you that you left three minutes earlier?

Imagine just for a moment that you work on weekends until 8pm and, two days later, you boss asks you at what time did you close the office because someone told him that you left three minutes earlier. During this time, a client still could have come to be attended. And I thought, we are all adults and mature. How would you react if it happens to you?

It may happen once between 100 or more times that a client comes at the end. But it really doesn't happen very often.

That sounds more like factory work than professional job. If the boss is so unreasonable, it is better for you to find another job. i cannot stand working for such people. If you were to stay back for 3 hours, he probably does not want to comment on your sacrifice, yet when you leave 3 minutes earlier, he makes a big issue out of it.

And he likes to forget that he has to pay you the extra hours you work

Before doing so i will keep all records handy when he himself left early and find way to communicate same in some manner- depending on the way he questioned me for the same.

In this case, someone just told him. And this someone doesn't work directly in our office.

I clocked in and out so no one could say I left to early or to late.

If you have a system to clock in and out, you have a great way to proof your arrival and your leaving time. So it doesn't matter what others say.

We've got to be careful what time we leave here and also we have to be signed out so no leaving early for us I suppose there would be nothing to say really, if I was supposed to stay until 8 and left a few minutes early I'd just have to take the telling off

Signing in and out is the best way to proof if you really left earlier I remember a job I had in the passed where we also did using a pin number and your fingerprint.

Yes, it's difficult to digest. Another thing is if I leave half an hour earlier without asking permission.
