A survey of over 830 hourly workers sheds light on time-card discrepancies and adjusted hours. The results show that many workers admit to not accurately tracking their hours. Nearly half of respondents have submitted time sheets that don't match their actual work hours. Additionally, 1 in 4 workers have clocked in or out for a coworker, or had a coworker do so for them.

This practice, known as buddy punching, can quietly add up and affect employers. The survey highlights the commonality of these habits among hourly workers.

Further details on the survey's findings are available, providing insight into the prevalence of time-sheet discrepancies and the impact on workplaces.
