Timekeeping

Accurately recording time worked is the responsibility of every employee. Federal and state laws require Wilkinson/Ace 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.

Paid time begins when the employee leaves the shop for the assigned job. If the employee is to report directly to the job site, paid time will begin when they employee arrives at the job site. Paid time ends when the employee leaves the job, not when they get back to the shop. Travel time, if paid, will be paid at the regular rate of one way.

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. Overtime work must always be approved before it is performed. All work performed over forty hours in a work week will be paid for at time and one half.

All hourly employees are expected to be clocked in and/or at the job site and ready to begin work within the first 1/10 hours (first six minutes) of the designated shift start time.

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.

It is the employees' responsibility to sign their time records to certify the accuracy of all time recorded. The supervisor will review and then initial the time record before submitting it for payroll processing. In addition, if corrections or modifications are made to the time record, both the employee and the supervisor must verify the accuracy of the changes by initialing the time record.

Each employee is responsible to have their time card turned into the office, either St. George or Springville, no later than 2:00 p.m. each Monday. If a Monday is a non-working holiday then time cards must be turned in by the employee no later than Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m.
