Time Entry Guidlines:

By submitting your time, you attest that this a true and accurate representation of hours worked. You also attest that you did not use the copy from previous week function, nor put in generic times work. For example 7a to 3 pm when you worked 7:15a- 2:45 P.

If any employee is found to be falsly submitting time, this includes submitting time prior to it being worked, utilizing copy from previous week, or utilizing generic times and not actual time worked, this will be considered time entry fraud and the employee can face diciplinary action.
