The worker clocked in at 6.45am, but later found out her hours were being amended to the 7am start time.

She said: "I’m losing 15 mins a day, five days a week, of clocked time because my boss is taking it from me.

"When I trained for this job, they told us to clock in 10-15 mins early to set up all of your software for the day. So I clock in at 6:45 every morning to get logged in and open all my programs.

She added: "Well a few weeks ago I was checking on my timesheet, and I noticed my clock in was getting adjusted to 7 am every day.

"I’m losing over an hour of work every week for months now - That’s cash down the drain."

After sharing her story online, other Reddit users flooded the comments to say the boss had no right to change the clocks.

One said: "Just for perspective - 1.25 hours a week is 65 hour in a year. That’s over a week and a half’s pay you don’t get.

Another added: "I don’t know about you, but missing even one week's pay would be detrimental to my personal financial well being."

A third wrote: "This kind of thing really makes by blood boil - and what’s worse is that someone in management probably got a bonus for saving money."
