Okay I have a problem that needs to be taken care of right away and I need some input from you all.
I have received numerous complaints about a department not taking their lunch times when everyone else does or gets spoken to about it. So this department gets to leave early because their time is in before normal. Plus they manage to get overtime from this deal also by coming in too early and no lunches.(However they do eat most of the time)
The only problem their boss signs off on it and approves the missed lunches and overtime. He is pretty high up in the company. Not only is this unfair to the others it is an abuse of the system.Without offending him completely how would you suggest I get his attention to the problem?
Any Suggestions?????

If you want to have everyone do it the same way, you should talk to the supervisor and tell him how it is affecting the other departments. Then ask him for suggestions on how to deal with it. He sounds like he cares about people, so he should respond to that angle. Enough rambling, I'm done.
If there is serious violation of company policy I will take it to my boss for his action and guidance. I suggest you attempt to do the same. I would not confront the other department manager.

When we were smaller, we tried the "one size fits all" philosophy, but this doesn't fly any longer in this society or in our particular workplace.
If other employees are griping, maybe they should transfer to this department or talk with their Manager about changing their times. Even go on some type of flex time or alternate work schedules if it might work.
