One possible explanation I can think of here, is the worker MIGHT be a work to rule kind of person, and booked OT for every minute extra they “worked”.
In this type of union environment, if you work a certain minimum (say five minutes extra) it automatically would be rounded to the nearest 15 min (up). So on the odd shift, not a big deal, and most wouldn’t bother claiming it, but the work to rule would stretch a 2-3 min extra to 5 min to get the extra 15 min OT pay, and over a year could really add up!
