Detroit cops aren't happy about the idea of punching time clocks at the beginning and end of a shift.
The city soon plans to have cops punch in time clocks, George Hunter of The Detroit News reports:
Detroit police officers are bristling at a plan that will require them to punch time clocks at the beginning and end of their shifts.
The demand is part of the city’s reboot of what officials say was an antiquated payroll system. At the recommendation of auditing firm Ernst & Young during the city’s bankruptcy proceedings, time clocks have been installed in most city buildings, including police commands.
The proposed policy for police — which is is expected to kick off in March — has some cops upset.
“Everybody at work is questioning this,” Detroit police officer Jeffry Sklar said.“There are a lot of people in the department who start at odd times. It just doesn’t make sense to have police officers punching in time clocks."
