Indian workers twice as likely as Brits to fix time keeping says Kronos survey

Seventy three per cent of Indian employees admitted to breaching clocking in procedures compared to 37% of Brits, Kronos reported. Top offences included clocking in earlier or later than scheduled, having someone else clock in or out on a worker's behalf and failing to clock out for breaks. Chinese workers scored second highest in the study with 72% owning up to cheating followed by 51% of Australians. Canadian employees ranked top for honesty with just 26% rigging records according to the Kronos Time Clocks survey Joyce Maroney, director of The Workforce Institute- a Kronos founded research body on workforce issues, said: "The vast disparity amongst regions is startling...Organisations with employees around the world need to take a hard look at their time keeping technologies and policies." The Kronos Time Clocks survey was carried out among over 10,000 workers worldwide who used a time clock. Employees were asked to reveal time keeping habits including cheats that helped them recoup more pay. Respondents were also asked how they felt when they clocked in for the day with "looking forward to starting a good day's work" the top response. However French employees bucked the trend with Gallic workers admitting feeling "bored with my job" was the most common sentiment when clocking on. The Kronos Time Clock survey was published to mark the launch of a new Kronos InTouch time clock.
