If your office was to introduce clocking in by using your PC or phone,

what would your re-action be? We are going to have to log on and off for each type of break including lunch. The times recorded would then be used for payroll. We feel that this is not the norm for office employees in the UK. Does anyone have either experience of this in their office or an opinion?

That is how it is where my daughter works except she doesn't get any breaks at all. She has to get to work early enough to log on and put in her time. If there is trouble with the computer, she has to have someone verify what time she arrived. That would also require having to stay long enough past your normal time to leave to enter your time. Using internet based programs can be very frustrating to say the least.

I've never heard of clocking on and off via phone, but using a computer to log breaks, lunches and what not, is fairly common in the states. It's a good way to make sure your payroll is accurate.
