Introduction

• A brief overview of how time theft has become a significant concern for employers across small boutique agencies.

The various types of time theft and the most common ways employees tend to game the system:

• Clocking in Early or Late:

• Systematic time theft: logging in fifteen minutes before arriving, every single day.

• Sporadic time theft: clocking out at the normal end of the workday despite leaving the office a few hours early.

• Long Lunches and Extended Breaks: leaving their workplace for breaks and staying away much longer than is acceptable.

• Overly Relaxed Workplace: an overly relaxed workplace can easily create a culture where time theft is normal.

• Internet-Based Time Theft: taking advantage of the internet to focus on non-work matters during work time.

• Buddy Punching: when one employee logs time for themselves and a buddy long before that coworker has shown up to work.
