Time Shaving Abuses
Fords NJ (ContentDesk) April 7, 2004 -- Documentation is the best defense against the payroll abuse known as time shaving. So said Norman Heinle, President of Datamatics, Inc. in response to a front page story in The New York Times dated April 4, 2004 which detailed recent instances of time shaving at a number of leading companies.Time shaving occurs when managers reduce the number of hours worked by employees, sometimes with a few quick keystrokes on a computerized record.

Such conduct is patently illegal, and the companies profiled in the story had policies in place forbidding the practice.What causes this increasingly common problem is the intense pressure on managers to control costs and increase productivity, especially in industries that are historically low margin.
