Punchclock manipulated at work

So I'm punching out today, after staying 15 minutes overtime. It's well known here that its better to punch out 1 minute after (ie 6:46), so you get credited the extra time.

I'm waiting by the clock, at 6:45, seems like the longest minute ever. I frequently compare the punch clock to my phone's time. Then it changes from :45 to :47!? This is the second time this has happened (that I actually saw). Is this normal? Is this legal 🙂 ?

No this is a fairly detailed LED, so the 5 has the straight edge at the top. I actually watched it change from a 5 to a 7. I wish I had a video phone for evidence.
 
Yes, it happenned. No, it isn't legal. Go up to your boss right now and threaten to sue his ass. Don't hesisitate, just do it...NOW.

Report back and let us know what happens.

6 doesn't look anything like 7.

True, but 6 and 5 are 1 segment apart on a 7-segment LED display. OP says that the clock was more detailed which throws my theory out the window anyway.

Where do you work CStan?
 
The numeral six was copyrighted by a french company, they're working on a no-fee legal use clause, but in the meantime they just left 5 run for 120 seconds.

a supervisor where I worked was canned because he did this for someone... not really worth it, I don't think.
