  If Home Dept was saving money by paying to the minute they would have changed years ago. The fact is that the majority of employees dont care to stand there an extra 3 minutes to round up to the next increment and Home Depot saves 5 min of pay. Corporations are never knowingly losing money on these kinds of things and they pay people to make sure they milk every cent they can. EDIT: added "pay"
context: it will change its pay policy for hourly employees starting Jan. 16, with associates being paid based on exact time punches.
  "Our policy has been to round total shift time up or down to the nearest 15 minutes ... we're changing our practice nationwide to pay hourly associates to the nearest minute," a company spokesperson said.
  
  Down to the minute instead of rounded up or down >
  
  This was how it was at 2 different places I worked in college. I abused the fuck out of this to get extra minutes I didn’t actually work lol.
  Every minute counts when you are making $10 an hour and trying to pay rent. >
  
  My man! I worked at Home Depot years ago and am probably one of the reasons they're changing this policy. OT every week >
  
  Yeah, I also worked at Home Depot and definitely abused this. Not sure what the lawsuits were trying to accomplish, Home Depot is going to save money by ending this policy
