Amazon A to Z 4+

Clocking in and out from your phone/device is great. No crowding around a time clock. Missed a punch and need to correct it, well you can do that as well. Most day to day basic needs readily and easily accessible and available in one place. What’s not to like about that.....Safe to say, if you work for the company you’re going to need to use either the web services or the app directly.

The app itself is easy to use, well designed, maintained well, and overall functionality of the app is something you would expect from the company. There are many great features with this app and One major problem!!! Almost every company collects data on individuals, it’s so common people rarely think about it. Much less worry about what is being collected anymore, or where that data goes, or used for. I can’t give my personal opinion on these things. I can only say that data collection or location data collection shouldn’t be a trade off for convenience. Or should say allowed by this or many other apps without a clear and understandable request on what exactly is being used for what.

There are times in the app where it will time punch for you. Or I want to correct your time punch because you did not leave at your scheduled time for example, your scheduled from 3 AM until 8 AM but you ended up staying till nine because you were outside doing traffic for the last couple hours of what would normally be your shift. the app wants you to have punched out at 8 AM but you punched out at 9am. Your managers know you stayed until nine because you were outside. Amazons verify your missed punch when you punched out using the time clock and your punch is correct but yet it still wants you to edit it. The only buttons on the bottom are edit punch or confirm you should give us an option to delete that edit punch if we know our punch is correct

I was never trained on how to use the time clock issues or how to contact anyone if I needed to call in for a sick day or an emergency and was later advised by a co-worker (not a manager) that if I didn’t manually put down for unpaid that it would show up as a ‘no show’ … when there is virtually no number to call in to say my boyfriend is dying the hospital and I had to say my goodbyes - which is a true story … so then I had to back track to that date and I haven’t a clue if I will get a legit non no-show for correcting it after the date. Plus if I have 8 mins less than 8 hours which my manager said to go ahead and leave … shows up in red and makes my attendance record look very bad … I haven’t a clue how to fix or correct that error which reflects bad on me WHEN I WAS AUTHORIZED?? The time clock issues and not being able to contact anyone via phone in an urgent matter or to miss a day for absolutely legit reasons is frustrating beyond belief! Fix your system please and please don’t red flag my days when I’ve taken legit PTO time which later says I have in RED UNPAID TIME OFF and subject to no shows and disciplinary action. Thank you!
