TIME KEEPING PRACTICES

Accurately recording of time worked is the responsibility of every non-exempt employee. Federal and state laws require PHK CPA to keep an accurate record of time worked by non-exempt employees in order to calculate employee pay and benefits.  Non-exempt employees should accurately record the time they begin and end their work, as well as the beginning and ending time of each meal period. They should also record the beginning and ending time of any split shift or departure from work for personal reasons.  Employees should not work overtime without obtaining the permission of the Management.  All overtime work must be recorded on time sheets.

Altering, falsifying, or tampering with time records may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Non-exempt employees should report to work no more than 10 minutes prior to their scheduled starting time and should not stay more than 10 minutes after their scheduled stop time without prior authorization from managment.

It is the responsibility of every employee to sign his/her own time records to certify the accuracy of all time recorded. Management will review and then initial the time record before considering it for payroll processing. If corrections or modifications are made to the time record, both the employee and Management normally will be required to verify the accuracy of the changes by initialing the time record.
