Interesting thread for me, since usually it's the US that has practices that are a pain in the butt for employees.
Well, this time it's apparently the other way around.
In my country (Slovakia, EU member) it's standard for corporate jobs to track fixed salary employees via badge readers. I've never worked such a job and always thought it's weird but the practice is ubiquitous.
Depending on the management, in some (most?) companies you get into problems if you spend far less than 8 hrs a day average in the offices. Only now, with remote work, I think the practice is slowly going away.
- Leherenn 3y agoI think the expectations are different for salaried workers in the US and (most?) EU countries. In the EU, salaried workers are usually contractually required to work a certain amount of time, unlike the US where it is more "do the work asked of you". If you have finished your task faster than expected, then you're supposed to get a new task and work on it until you've worked the contracted hours. Conversely, if you've done your hours, then see you tomorrow. In that regard, it makes more sense to track how much time you actually work since it is a breach of contract not to work them.
