Monroe, CT asked in Employment Law for Connecticut

Q: CT state: Start time is 8:15, I clock in at 8:11, and upon clocking out, my clock in time is suddenly logged at 8:30..?

This happens all the time. Clock in time is 8:15 and we can be no later than that. I clock in at 8:11 and it confirms that. When I clock out it says that I clocked in at 8:30. Is this legal and what laws govern this issue? Thank you.

A: When I go to https://cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_557.htm#sec_31-13a and look around a bit, I can't find any penalty for an employer who screws with your timekeeping. This might be a defect in the statutes.
