I.                   Purpose

 

To instruct employees on the use of time cards or time sheets as a device for recording time worked.  The time cards and time sheets are the basis for pay checks.

Hourly employees must record their time by punching time cards.  Salaried Employees will maintain and submit a time sheet for payroll purposes.  The Executive Director has the authority to allow hourly employees submit a time sheet for staffs who work in a variety of settings, such as maintenance workers.

 

III.             Procedure

 

RECORDING TIME WORKED:

Time cards and time sheets are used to record hours worked and form the basis for employees pay checks. 

 

For employees who utilize time cards, generally hourly employees, the day before the start of each pay period, defined as Sunday through the second following Saturday, time cards will be placed near the time clock.  Each hourly employee is required to record their time worked by punching a time card at the beginning and end of each shift.  If breaks are taken off the facility grounds an employee must punch out and then back in, in order to reflect the amount of time taken for the paid/unpaid break. No one is to punch any time card but their own.  If the time clock is not working, an initialed, written entry is to be made on the time card.  There is no grace period for clocking in.  For example, if you clock in at 8:01 and your shift started at 8:00 you are considered late.  This is in accordance with the tardiness policy.  Any time clocked out after regularly scheduled hours needs to be approved for overtime by your immediate supervisor or the Executive Director. 

 

Salaried Employees and those given permission to utilize time sheets shall maintain his/her time accurately and honestly.  Falsifying the time entered on the time sheet may be grounds for conduct maintenance. 

 

SENDING INPUT TO THE PAYROLL COMPANY:

Following the end of each pay period the Business Manager or Executive Director will use the time cards and time sheets to prepare a payroll input sheet for submission to the payroll company.  Each day’s hours are tallied and totals are entered at the bottom of the time card and then transferred to the input sheet.  Request for Absence from Work Slips are use as the basis for recording benefit hours to be paid. 

 

PAYDAY:

Checks will be available for pick-up the Thursday before payday.  In case of absence the employee may designate someone to pick up their paycheck by giving them written permission to do so.  The designated person must show picture identification along with written permission in order to pick up the absent employees check.

 

RESOLVING PROBLEMS:

Problems or errors should be directed to the Business Manager for correction on the next check.  Unresolved problems should be directed to the Business Manager or the Executive Director for resolution.
