I Owe it My Job

A few months ago I had a major dispute with my employer who claimed that I was not reporting my time accurately. I was told to either pay back the money they said I was over-paid for or be fired. I knew I had not been over-paid and I had just the tool to prove it. The company I work uses the telephone time clock system and I used this system every single day I worked. I can not only prove that my time worked was correct but I can also prove that they actually shorted me on several pay checks.

I was able to get a copy of all the time sheets that come directly from the time attendance tracking system and it showed exactly when I phoned in and phoned out. The great thing is I use my cell phone to phone in so this showed my location as recorded by the cell phone tower. I work as an insurance agent and all of my appointments are held in my client’s homes. I phone in when I’m on my way to their house and phone out when I am done. I had all the evidence I needed to keep my job and recover the lost wages they took from me.

The standard employee time clock isn’t practical in my line of work and the telephone time clock is one of the greatest office tools to have come along in a long time. If it weren’t for this awesome device I’d probably be out of job. I’m very thankful for all the data that is stored on this system because it allowed me to show exactly how many minutes I was on the clock and exactly when I clocked out. I don’t know how companies such as the one I work for, keep up with their employee’s time without the phone time clock system.
