Tl;dr: my husband is missing, on average, 30 minutes of work every day. His excuses seem lame, and we lost a significant amount of money over it in the last year.
While trying to figure out a few hiccups in our bank account for our taxes, I noticed that my partners latest paycheck was almost $100 more than normal. It seemed odd, so I went through our history for the last year and saw that there were only a handful of paychecks for that amount. The rest varied anywhere from about $40-100 less.
When I asked him what his normal paycheck should look like, it was for the latest amount. I asked him what was going on that he had only had 3 paychecks in the past year that were "normal". All I've been able to get out of him is that he's "chronically late" and that sometimes he takes a long lunch. For what it's worth, he is made to take an hour lunch at work because they want employees to be there from 9-5, and that hour lunch keeps him at an 8 hour workday. Since I go to work an hour before him everyday and only get a 30 minute lunch, I'm having a hard time seeing how this is even remotely justifiable.
What's bothering me the most is just how much time is missing. I obviously can't see his paystub, but by my estimate he's missing something like an average of half an hour every day. I really don't think he's running around or anything, because he does come home on time nearly every day, but it just doesnt seem reasonable that running a few minutes late to work every day and taking the occasional 1+ hour lunch adds up to this.
I just don't know what to do in general. I don't think it's fair at all that someone who gets to sleep in an additional hour and gets twice the lunch I do can just not work their full day while I work my butt off and never take any unpaid time off work. If I need more time, I take sick or vacation. We share a bank account, and now I'm feeling pretty resentful that he gets just as much access to spending money as I do when his w2 shows that he made almost $2,300 less this year than last, and with a pay raise to boot
