It's so freaking busy at my store because of the pandemic that a lot of us are doing well over eight hours a day either in our own departments or a combination of being in our own departments and helping out other departments that are drowning. Something I've noticed and others have too is if we try and clock out after something like 14 hours the time clock spits out a message along the lines of "employee shift not found" even though we were definitely scheduled that day and clocked in just fine earlier. It's not a big deal BUT it's just a minor pain having to go find the time clock clipboard and THEN find a manager that can sign it. Like at that point we all just want to clock out and go home not go on a hunt for the clipboard and a manager, lol (and THEN hope that the payroll person enters all our times correctly later in the week!).
Thay happened a few times. Finally UK just said "F*ck it" and left. It shown I never clocked out, so th ed y had to manually input my end time to override it. They had to do that with as lot of us
30 min after your scheduled shift is when it blocks it. Some times it lets you clock out up to 30 min after 8 hrs.
OP here. It must differ by division then. I haven't had any issues clocking out even after 12 hours. A lot of people at my store though - including me - are working longer than 12 hour shifts now even though on paper we're scheduled 8. Just now we're starting to notice this issue at the time clock as a result.

Just leave when your scheduled to leave. Don't kiss anyone's ass or you can leave a note fpr them to fix. Don't waste your valuable time. Manager probably sitting in his office playing fortnight.
I think if you go something like 5 hours without a punch it kicks you out. Ive only had that issue happen when ive stayed over and not took an extra break.
