My job's 7 Minute Rule

Today I took advantage of the 7 minute rule at work. My job has a 7 minute rule that adds an extra 15 minutes on to your time sheet every week. If you work 7 minutes or more past your quitting time, you are paid 15 minutes. I work in a call center, its easy to do 7 minutes and get paid overtime for that . While it can't be done everyday, 4x a week earns you an extra hour at OT pay for 28 minutes. You actually can work your way into an extra 20 bucks a week. I did work the 7 minutes, it was just one more call.

Before someone says something about cheating the company, I didn't make these rules, I'm just learning how to use them to my advantage.
