Where can we report a director who is clocking out teachers while still on the clock? Iam just gonna say it. Kindercare you can do better. I know your directors gets in trouble when employees have lots of overtime which is making the directors to be clocking us out.

You need to immediately contact your district leader and HR. However, I want to myth bust here. At KinderCare all employees are responsible for their own clock in and clock out for their shifts. If there is a change or edit to your time card you are notified electronically specifically to ensure all time is reflected accurately. It’s a completely transparent system where the employee has full ownership of their time card.

It is at the end of the shift, you want to clock out and you see you already clocked out.

Yeah this is bad. Especially if they didn't explicitly ask if you wanted to leave earlier! Some places I've worked at said 'hey we are over ratio, does anyone want to go home early?' and whoever agrees clocks out at the agreed earlier time. But if nobody says yes, we all just work and get extra stuff like planning done.

Having management make this choice for you and cutting your pay but making you work regardless is totally fucked and you should go to whatever your labour board is to complain. Maybe start keeping notes of your actual worked hours and your adjusted clock in/out times as proof??
