What Is an Employee Time Tracking Policy?
An employee time-tracking policy is a detailing how the workers should document their working time, breaks, and attendance. It usually comprises what tools are being used (e.g., electronic time clocks, software programs), clock-in and clock-out procedures, the manner in which overtime is being computed, and what happens when an employee fails to comply with the policy.
It’s not compliance, it’s establishing expectations. Having a clear policy gives workers the framework they need to navigate their time and provides employers with accurate data for making decisions and accurate payroll.
