Years ago supervisors had discretion to release staff early. Typically used as a reward around the holidays. They rotated through staff to keep the office running. You still put 8 hours on your timecard, but that day before the holiday you might have been allowed to start an hour late or leave an hour early.
I think the federal HR rules may have stopped this practice??
Either that or someone did a naughty while they had an on-the-job alibi??? 🤨:unsure:
I knew someone who ran a company that let employees leave 2 hours before the end of the day. He had an employee have an accident when they left and filed for workman's compensation. Employee sued the company saying they never would have had the accident if they were still at work and the company was caught up in the suit from the employee, as well as workman's comp lawsuit.

No good deed goes unpuninshed. How wonder what percentage of the goods and services we consume every day can be attributed to gratuitous litigation. Medical services, it's gotta be close to half...
 
Is that your secret engine stash?


No. I have 2 Ford flatheads, each is in an 8N tractor. The rest of my flatheads are Packard straight eights. They hold down a stall in the horse house Out West. If the picture ever comes through, I'll post it. The phone is like a foot from the computer, but it's taking forever to get from one to the other.

Classic example of why that is no longer a compensation option. *nods head*
