For example: If you started working at 8:00am – you can enter 8:00am then the enter key or enter 800a and then enter (the computer will put in the colons). Once you push enter the cursor will move down to the next box.

After entering 12:00pm and hitting enter another line will appear and then you can enter your time after lunch.

You will notice the computer will total your hours to the right and also at the bottom of the screen for each day. Now you are ready to enter the next day. Be sure to click your mouse on the box that you want to enter your time.

Lunch break -- You must clock out if you take a 30-minute or more uninterrupted lunch break. If it is less then 30 minutes DO NOT clock out. This is required by the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Workweek – is defined as Sunday through Saturday. Overtime is any physical time worked over 40 hours in the given workweek.

Maintenance Department Work week – is defined as Thursday through Wednesday.Overtime is any physical time worked over 40 hours in the given workweek.

Overtime – Workweek hours over 40. Any time WORKED (physically) over forty hours is compensated at time and one-half (Compensation will be either paid or given as comp time). Workweeks that total over 40 hours will show on your timesheet as regular hours. Jackie will divide the hours into regular time and over time. This division will show on the lotus spreadsheets. These sheets are handed out a couple times a year.

Comp time –All hours over 40 in a workweek for secretaries and paras will be earned comp time.

Comp time earned will still be kept manually on a lotus spreadsheet. Any exceptions must have prior approval from your Supervisor. Your supervisor must also add a note to the employee’s timesheet.

Working past midnight -- This program will not allow working until midnight or past midnight as time worked for that day. Below are examples.

On Monday May 5th & Tuesday May 6th, the employee worked from 3:00pm until 12:00am with a half-hour lunch break. In order for the program to accept the time it must be recorded as start time of 2:59pm and ending time of 11:59pm. Which is a total of 8.5 for that day.

On Wednesday, May 7th, the employee worked until 12:30am. Any time after midnight needs to be recorded as a separate entry. See the example at the bottom of page 5. The employee clocked in at 2:59pm, clocked in and out for lunch. Then they clocked out at 11:59pm, clocked back in at 12:00am and then clocked out at 12:30am. This time is all recorded as time worked on Wednesday.

Once you have saved your information, the computer may rearrange the time sequence. Looking at Wednesday, the time worked after midnight has now been moved to the top. It may look a little confusing, but the total daily time is correct. The above example also shows this employee was called in for an emergency early Saturday morning. The employee also attached a note for the emergency time worked.
