He would have       someone on one post one day, the next day another, the third day a third       post, etc.        Each post had its own time sheet. At the end of the week they were all       collected, time added up, etc.        He often would "lose" a time sheet. When the employee inquired about the       missing pay he would claim they never worked that post and not getting paid.        Caused a lot of hard feelings and also cost the company a lot of employees.        I was in parking at the time and never happened to me, we had copies of       our time sheets, signed off by someone in authority. The head of parking,       and if she wasn't around the chief of police. If he wasn't around it went on       down the chain of command. Onc        Carolyn, my civilian boss, wanted a copy for her files and we had a copy       to CYA.        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/116 120/302 340       SEEN-BY: 120/616 123/0 10 25 115 126 131 160 180 200 525 755 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 330 331 135/300 366 371 379 382 383 384 385 388 390       SEEN-BY: 135/391 392 153/757 7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 220/90 221/0 6 222/2 226/18 30 227/114 201 229/110 111 112       SEEN-BY: 229/113 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 250/1 261/1466 266/512 275/1000 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/267 280 712/620 848 1321 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2320/105 2452/250 3634/0 12 15 24 27 50 56 5020/1042       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 154/10 280/464 712/848 229/426           |
