A.

The employee time report is a permanent department record of all hours worked and leave used and serves as documentation for preparation of the payroll time sheet.  Go to Online Forms to download the Classified Time Report  in Excel format.  Click here to view sample time reports.
 

1.

Time reports must be kept within the departments for five years.
 

2.

Time reports must accurately record all hours worked or leave used.
 

3.

By signing the time report, the employee declares that it is accurate and the supervisor gives departmental approval.

B.

The employee is responsible for accurately reporting all time worked and leave used in each week of each bi-weekly pay period.  The time report is divided into seven major areas:
 

1.

Employee Information and Pay Period Information which consists of:
a. Employee Name
b. Employing Department Code
c. Person ID
d. Position Title
e. Pay period ending date Saturday
2. Daily begin and end times for non-exempt employees, or scheduled hours worked each day for exempt employees in each week of the bi-weekly.
a. Begin and end times should be entered as the hour and minute followed by AM or PM (i.e. 7:45 AM).
b. Scheduled hours worked should be entered as hours and minutes (i.e. 8:00).
c. Total hours worked is summarized in the right hand column for each week.
3. Leave Time Used must also be recorded as an entry on the appropriate daily line.  Leave hours used should be entered as hours and minutes (i.e. 4:00).
a. The time off must accurately be reported as approved vacation, sick leave, personal holiday, legal holiday, use of compensatory time, sabbatical time or other such as military leave, jury duty, blood donation, in-service training, or certain approved union activities.
b. Total Leave and Total Hours is summarized in the right columns for each week as well as the total for each type of leave at the bottom of every column.
c. Any absence time without supervisory approval is leave without pay.
4. Differential, Overtime and Compensatory Time
a. Time in pay status in worked after 6:00 pm or on weekends will result in pay out of Weekend and/or Night Differential.
    b. Time in pay status in excess of 40 hours per week results in pay out of overtime or accumulation of compensatory time for Non-Exempt employees, depending on Fair Labor Standards Act requirement, applicable labor agreement, State compensation plan or administrative rule.
c. Limited Term Employees (LTE) must always receive overtime pay for overtime worked.  They cannot be granted compensatory time off as payment.
d. The Non-Exempt employee should have prior supervisory approval of overtime or compensatory time worked.
e. Compensatory time earned is always recorded on the time card at actual total hours worked (straight time).  The appointing authority or the current contract designates whether it is earned at straight time or at time and one half.  The employee's earning statement will report compensatory time as the earned total.
