Accidentally clocked out of work 25 minutes early... what should I do?

[Anonymous]

I've been working there for about 3 weeks now. Today a manager talked about how impressed she was with my work (i work at a large retail store) and that theyre going to train me next week from 11 to 7 on a new skill. This must have messed with my mind because I accidently clocked out at 7:05 instead of 7:30.

It's even worse than usual, because I was a cashier today and you have really strict time schedules written down for you. I left the schedule in my car on my lunch break, so I didn't have a reference. I'm very sure that one of the managers will see that I clocked out early, so I dont know what to do. I feel like I should bring it up, but at the same time, if they dont say anything to me, I'm not sure its worth mentioning. I'm working tomorrow so I really need to figure out what Im gunna do now. PLEASE HELP.

As soon as you arrive tomorrow, find a manager and explain you were forced to leave early as you inadvertently messed yourself whilst merely intending to fart. Explain that a fairly sizable piece of your crud dribbled down your leg and onto the floor, but that you quickly picked it up and ate it, rather than risk sullying the reputation of the store! They'll probably give you a raise!

Um, you talk to your manager and say, "oops! I made a mistake"

I own a business. When an employee makes a mistake, we fix it. When an employee does something intentional, then I punish him, often involving firing.

Fix mistakes. Everyone makes them.

Do you think they'll be mad? 25 minutes isn't that much to me (considering the time I worked) I really want to keep the job :/

Talk to your manager.

I don't get mad at my employees for making mistakes. I do get mad at them for not telling me.

Go to them tomorrow when you get to work and tell them it was an honest mistake. If they're "very impressed" with your work, then that should carry a little bit of weight. Plus, you're still fairly new there. Personally, I don't see them being too upset about it, especially if it's an isolated incident.

Some places consider this "walking off the job" Which means you quit, and will not be employed anymore.

You should have immediately indicated your error and continued working, then clocked out again at your normal time.

Hopefully, they will let you work tomorrow and let you explain yourself.
