Recording Work Time

Non-Exempt Staff Members

Wage and hour laws require all non-exempt staff members to file timely and accurate work records. Time sheets for this purpose are furnished by supervisors and are available in the Payroll Office. The time sheets must indicate specific starting and quitting time, taking into consideration any shortfalls such as breaks that exceed fifteen minutes, extended lunch periods, late arrivals, and early departures. This information is especially important when overtime hours are reported. Supervisors must review and sign all time sheets before sending them to the Payroll Office. Pre-stamped signatures are not acceptable.

Exempt Staff Members

Supervisors and staff members are responsible for maintaining and monitoring a written record of sick leave, vacation time, and all other time away from work (e.g., conferences) for all exempt staff members.
