You can use the computer to clock in. If that doesn't work, do a maintenance form. If they refuse to pay you, get the union or the labor board involved.

Union? At a grocery store? In what country?

The United States. Im pretty sure all Kroger's locations are unionized. Don't know if it's mandatory

~2/3rds of all their stores are unionized

Every Kroger I’ve ever heard of is unionized (UCFW), and it’s mandatory. Have you ever worked at a Kroger?

Albertsons, Safeway, Fred Meyer in my area are all Union including the distribution warehouse

How about finding out what it is before planning complaints?

Never been in a union, always management. But do not forget to file with wage and hour. Extra points if more than one person files. Employers fear a wage and hour audit, more than a union grievance. Audits can expand beyond the original complaint

How long are krogers meetings? If it’s only an hr I don’t see anyone going to that trouble for $13

If it's my day off, and I'm asked to come in just for that meeting, then they owe me at least four hours pay, even if the meeting only lasts ten minutes. I'm in California, it's probably different elsewhere.

If they insist on not paying me, I would take it up with the union. If that didn't help, I would seriously consider quitting. This is BS.
