At my shop we have swipe cards which we have for time keeping... and the system automatically deducts 30 minutes for lunch even if you work through it.... it even flags it as a 'transgression' if you dont swipe out while sitting at your desk working over lunch - covering their arse I guess while also saving money.
The project managers work a slow week - arrive at 9, off as soon as the timeclock shows 4pm ... the other permies are often working 40+ with no overtime... many are there 2 hours after their bosses buggered off and they write off flexi time every month.
I feel a bit guilty as myself and several other contractors simply put in time sheets showing the full time we were on site, working, and ignore their rules.. and we are all paid for that. The permies, who are actually a decent bunch, get screwed more than we do.
