I remember one of the minimum wage jobs that I had years ago, the owner purposely set the clock on the wall to be 15 min ahead. So when anyone showed up at the correct time, he would point at the clock and said that the person is 15 minutes late and deduct 0.25 hour off the wage.

But then when people left their shifts when the clock reached the top of the hour, the owner will point at the same clock again saying that this clock is 15 minutes ahead and tell the staff they still have 15 minutes left in the shift.

So the guy is skimming off 15 minutes free labour everyday from everyone...
