I was under the impression that all businesses operating in the state of California are to comply with a 7 minute "grace period" for employees who are running late - and that only after the 7th minute, they are considered late. Am I wrong in this? If anybody has input or even a state website that states this, could you please post it? And to be clear - this isn't just in regards to state workers - all businesses in California. Thank you for your help...

I've never heard of it. I believe they can count you late once the clock ticks past your start time. Check http://www.ca.gov/Employment.html for additional info.

I looked up California Employment Laws and could find nothing on this issue. Here in Illinois is it left up to the company to decide. The only time that I have had that perk was a union job. Most companies policy is if your start time is 7 then you are late after 7. The problem with the 7 minute grace period would be an employee that was always clocking in at 7:07 every day. That could add up to a lot of lost time in the long run.
