Poll: Over exaggerate work hours on timesheets?

Our company policy is nearest 15min.
That being said, mine ALWAYS states 8:00AM to 16:00PM, because my boss said he doesn't care that I have every minute worked out. He knows if I don't get something done he'll hear about it.

Agreed. It appears you have forgotten what "nearest" actually means.
I'm working full time on a salary now, so the concept of "work hours" lost all meaning. When I was working here hourly, I rounded to the nearest 15 minute interval.
HUGE difference, were you in the building under the clock when reporting those hours ?....no.

Well, I've had to fire two people over the years for lying on their timesheets, so I recommend not doing it.
I'm not saying it will break the company, but in my experience people who lie on their timesheets are dishonest in other areas too. I might not catch them stealing office supplies, making LD calls from work, using fake receipts on their expense reports, sleeping in the lab, etc. But if I catch them lying on their timesheets more than once, they are gone because I can prove that. I just don't want dishonest people working for me. It's too much work to watch them.
And the honest employees seem to like it when the cheaters get canned, so that's an extra bonus.

It is in an ethical sense. You're not even at work and you're being paid for that time.
People don't surf ATOT when they have work to be done. As long as you're keeping up with your workload, there is nothing wrong with going off task for a while. But saying you were at work when you were not is wrong, and it would only take someone going "Hmmm.." to get you in some serious trouble. I would recommend against it...

15 minute increments, not 30 minutes.

I round by company policy - to the nearest five minutes. As for the not taking breaks thing - unless they're taking a chunk out of your paycheck, assuming that you're taking breaks, you shouldn't be adding on time to compensate. Even if they were doing that, you should just talk to them and sort it out.

I always record it down to the min.
Time zones are a different story though, If you live in central time you should put your in time based on pacific and your outtime based on eastern :evil:

You obviously already felt bad about it or you wouldn't be questioning whether it's right or wrong 😛
My employer had a lawsuit brought against them because of a glitch in our punch in/out system. At 2:00 AM every morning a program would pull hours from employee punches and record them. This process took 2 minutes to complete. Some of our operations run 24/7 and there would be employee's punched in at that time that it was running. The polling process would punch them out, and then punch them back in after the process was complete. When it did this it would shave off two minutes from an employee's hours.
What happened was an employee was looking over what time he clocked in and clocked out and looked at how much he was getting paid. It ended up being close to half an hour in a two week period. He tried bringing a lawsuit against us because we were cheating him time.
Fair enough. We manually account for this now.
But, in equality, if an employee is going to nag about 2 minutes being off, we're going to bust your balls for punching out 15 minutes later than you were actually working.
