Time Clock Procedures
Time Clock Procedures
Each employee is required to have a record of hours worked. In departments using time clocks or the
web-based time keeping system, the following regulations will apply:
1. Employees are required to clock in prior to their assigned start time, and must clock out when
they go off duty.
2. Employees are required to clock out any time they leave the work site for any reason other than
assigned work duties.
3. Unless permission to do otherwise is authorized in writing by the employee's supervisor, no
employee may clock in more than 5 minutes prior to, or 5 minutes after, the start of their shift.
Employees may not clock out more than 5 minutes prior to, or 5 minutes following the end of
their work time.
4. Clocking in within the time-frame specified in item three, will be calculated as an on-time report
for duty.
5. Depending on the department procedures, time recorded will be the work-time paid or employees
will be paid from time sheets verified by actual recorded times. Any adjustments to the recorded
time must be approved by the employee's supervisor. Managers will be accountable to their
department head for any manual changes submitted.
6. Unless a department is utilizing a system with an automatic lunch deduction, employees must
clock out for their designated lunch time. All employees are free to leave the premises during lunch.
7. Employees who have worked time in excess of 40 hours per week will be paid time-and-a-half
for all time exceeding 40 hours.
8. Employees cannot clock for any other employee.
Violations of these procedures may result in disciplinary actions; including oral
or written warnings,
suspension without pay and/or termination. Under no circumstance may one
employee clock in or
out for another employee. Any employee participating in this type of violation
will face immediate
termination.
