Time Reporting

Accurately recording time worked is the responsibility of every nonexempt employee. Federal and state laws require the University to keep an accurate record of time worked in order to calculate employee pay and benefits. Time worked is all the time actually spent on the job performing assigned duties. 

A work hour is any hour of the day that is worked and must be recorded in the online timekeeping system. Hours are rounded to the nearest tenth of an hour. The workday is defined as the 24- hour period starting at 12:01 a.m. and ending at 12:00 midnight.

Nonexempt employees must accurately record the time they begin and end their work, as well as the beginning and ending time of each meal period. They must also record the beginning and ending time of any split shift or departure from work for personal reasons. Overtime work must always be approved before it is performed. 

Non-exempt Employees will submit their time record daily in the online timekeeping system. Each employee is to maintain an accurate daily record of his or her hours worked. All absences from work schedules should be appropriately recorded.

Altering, falsifying, tampering with time records, or recording time on another employee's time record may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Workweek

The workweek covers seven consecutive days beginning on Sunday 12:00 A.M. and ending on Saturday at 11:59 P.M.
