Hi everyone Apologies for starting a new thread on my first outing to the forum, but I would really appreciate some sound (and hopefully steeped in legal) advice for a problem I'm having at work. First a little background: I'm a temporary contractor working for a large financial organisation in the UK. I've worked at the same company since July last year. All workers in my field (temporary and permanent) have to log in to two systems; one a stand-alone system, the other software on the computer. Unfortunately, the two systems aren't married up in any way, meaning if we forget to log in to the stand-alone, we accrue time that has to be paid back to the employer, even though there is other evidentiary proof we were sat at our desks working; for instance, time and date logs on cases we work, the computer software package we also have to log in on (late logging on this system carries no penalties). Today I received notification that I accrued nearly two hours in January for logging in late to the stand-alone system. Without going to check for cases I had worked that day, or having access to the computer software system, I cannot prove it. During the course of the day, I had a 'running conversation' with my manager, who informed me that 'the system has never had any reports of errors before'. My reply that I have a history of logging onto both systems successfully each day was ignored, as was the suggestion that the agency I'm contracted with didn't send an email notifying me that I had flagged on the report (this is part of the notification process that other employees have received at times). I'm contracted to work for 35 hours per week, which I have never been late for, and never returned late from breaks/lunches more than a minute. I am supposed to make the time after work this week. If there is sufficient other evidence that I've logged in on time to work my contracted hours, in the hours set, can my employer legally demand I work outside of these hours for no pay? Pretty long winded, but hope you can follow it (and advise!)
