Does anybody still.....

Clock on for work these days?
Last time I did it was in 1969 at Sammy Fox's Belmont 'prentice school.

 

they were still doing it at sammy foxes when I left 3 years ago

belmont brings back memories

 

They still do it now

But it's for safety reasons , rather than for a method of payment . It's been like that since February 2003 .

 

my office used to be at the side of the clocking station at no.2 gate

I can still hear them all clocking off at 4.30pm

 

Not so much as clocking on but sighning in and out in the construction ind on main contracts is the norm for safety reasons.

 

Did you know

That Kev spent 25 years in Payroll , before leaving in 2003 ? Apparently , he still gets wage queries sent to him!!!ff

 

is that why

you live in 15 bedroomed mansion and winter on the algarve???</p>

no wonder they started making a profit in 2004 for the first time in (surprise, surprise) 25 years. Thought it was me leaving that had caused that!!!</p>

I think I started as a trainee3 years after Kev, so had dealings on and off with him untilI left.</p>

Clocks are a bit sophisticated now days like they calculate your wages, overtime, bonus, all from the clock link to the wages computer.

 

Yep.

 

Where was that office ? Stores, or Spring Mill ?

 

yes

main reason i think is in case of fire so they know who was in the building

 

RE: yes

if I didnt clock in I wouldnt get paid. :'( :'( :'(

 

stores office

bottom floor one</p>

every time it rained it flooded</p>

 

nah, just idle into the office as and when nt
