PRO TIP

SUCCESS IN THE WORKPLACE:
Time Theft, Productivity, and the Union’s Success

Time theft occurs when someone is paid for work they did not do. This can hurt productivity and make it harder for the union to compete. For example, if a worker is paid for 8 hours but actually only works for 6 hours, they are taking 2 hours of pay for no work. This not only affects the worker but also the team and the project. When more time is wasted, the company loses more money and it becomes harder for the union to compete in the marketplace. It's important for workers to track their work hours accurately and put in the effort required for each job to maintain their integrity and professionalism.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

If you choose C) Ignoring the behavior, it could be seen as condoning or approving of the time theft and may harm the project and the union in the long run. This is a serious violation of trust.
