Time theft report: What 800-plus hourly workers admit about life on the clock
The survey found 79% of workers think managers review time cards closely, yet 66% say more monitoring would not change behavior.
- A recent OnTheClock survey of more than 830 hourly workers reveals that 43% have adjusted their reported hours, indicating that time-tracking records often fail to reflect actual work hours.
- Personal habits drive the misreporting: 83% of workers handle personal matters on the clock, while 25% have engaged in "buddy punching" within the past 12 months, where an employee clocks in for a colleague.
- One worker overreporting by an hour weekly costs employers roughly $1,684 annually; for a 10-person hourly team, that figure climbs past $16,800 annually, excluding payroll taxes.
- Despite 79% of workers believing managers review time cards thoroughly, 66% say increased monitoring would not change their behavior, suggesting stricter oversight may not resolve inaccurate reporting.
- While 71% of employees acknowledge buddy punching violates company rules, Gen Z workers are more than 1.5 times as likely to engage in it, with 51% viewing the practice as acceptable.
