Five-Minute Leeway Rule

Five-Minute Leeway Rule - A deviation of up to 5 minutes (.08 hour) from an employee's established work schedule, allowed when congestion at the time clock or other conditions necessitate. The daily sum of deviations from the established work schedule may not exceed 5 minutes. Some employees who are allowed the 5-minute deviation for clocking purposes are paid on the basis of actual clock rings.
