At least you won't be late!

If your employer's clock is set at GMT+10 and you clocked in at an indicated seven minutes late, then it would appear that you were ACTUALLY 17 minutes late.
If the employer's clock was set at GMT-10 and you clocked in at GMT-3, then you have been getting off work ten minutes early every previous day.
Question. - Who signs your paycheck?
Go by what the employer's clock says.

Your question is written incorrectly, if your employers clock was ten minutes late, then you can not be late, you would be early if you clocked in at GMT.
So your employers clock has to be set ten minutes faster than GMT for you to be late.
But guess what employers clocks are set at the employers time, and you had better figure that out, since they don't care and no one cares, you can ask them to set thier clocks to the radio or correct time and normally they will if they notice they are off, But guess what, if some employee of mine came in and started talking GMT and other bull about my time clocks I would explain them where the door was and that it would work both ways if they did not want to work for me

Yes it is, but they must adhere to it. So they cannot accuse you of being late if it says the 'not late' time on the clock. You usually find it is the other way round and work clocks are faster than GMT by a few minutes to put a stop to lateness.

depends if your contract clearly states the hours you must work... you may have taken the job on the basis of being able to e.g. catch the first train or bus into work, with no alternative transport available... if they're effectively forcing you to start earlier than contracted on threat of losing your job, then that's right out. even if it is only 10 minutes.
also if they did this on your first day, as you had no way of telling the clock was out.
though i was never officially clocked, my last place of work had a culture of this nonsense and it peed me right off. i'm happy to start work at 8.30 - but only if they SAY 8.30 to start with, and not 8.45!
alternatively if you have relatively easy transport options, and the time has only been verbally stated, you dont have a great deal of cause for argument or much legal leg to stand on - just get in 10 minutes earlier (and clock off 10 mins early, too!)... you might end up missing the worst of the rush hour this way :)

Don't know whether this is legal or not. At clocking out time check another clock in the factory and if that is the CORRECT time put in a complaint.

See your union representative. If you're not in a union, join today. Tell the union the clock is set wrong and you want it put right. You do not get paid for being early.

Lol. I do that too but I actually forget that I set the clock 10 min forwards so it works for me.
