That's pretty funny... :D

I am an hourly employee, but don't clock in or out. "Honor system", I guess. I fill out a triplicate form for any days off or vacation.

I work lots of extra time I don't get paid for, but often it's in self defense. It's easier to remotely reboot something on the weekend than having everyone screaming at me when I show up on Monday morning. If I leave early on a Friday, I don't feel the least bit guilty.

Our helpdesk app can track time spent on work orders and generate reports, but that feature is rarely used.

Another nice feature is the ability to import the data to your payroll software (eliminates handkeying of hours/earnings and some permanent employee data). You do not need ADP software to do this - as long as your payroll software can accept a .csv file you are good to go.

We had to charge even the smallest amount of time spent on things to specific project codes. At the end of the week I could run a report that would tally everything up by project and give total hours worked as well.

It doesn't run very well under XP but I'd be willing to give up the source code if you want to migrate it to a newer development platform. It tracks time across startup/shutdown of the PC as well. The issue it has with XP is that it was written using Borland C and the library that handles dates and times is only 16 bit, so the time gets whacked when it does the date math...

and product managers (salaried folks) are likely treated
differently.

We used to have a time clock, but when the current operations
manager took over from the previous one about 4 years ago, it
went away.

I did put down a spreadsheet, for we have to submit our time
twice a month. This covers any vacation, sick, personal,
jury duty and so on that may have occurred during the bi-monthly
time period.

Then at the end of the week; I run a summary and it tells me what to code where.

My tool runs on my laptop all the time and when I get a phone call I switch tasks; .... so it's pretty handy.

It also leaves the documentation on my laptop should someone question what I was doing between hrs xx.yy to zz.aa on date d; I can look it up quickly and provide that data too.

That sounds like my old job, we had a Kronos time clock and fingerprint confirmation. Now I just use a spreadsheet and give it to my manager twice a month to get paid.

The thing I've noticed about a "swipe-in/out" type of job, is that everyone has them figured out how to have it always round in your favor. I.E. work 5 minutes past the hour and it rounds up to 15 minutes worked, etc.
Not at wal-mart, its exact with card reader. It shows you clocked in 5min late for record keeping purposes. But you don't get punished for it or anything of that nature.

But it all evens out anyways, we get 15min breaks we don't have to clock out for, a 15min break is normally 30min break for lots of people there.. :p]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20823174 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:28:28 EDT Re: How do you keep your time at work? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20823170 hitachi369 : We have a web app]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20823170 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:27:48 EDT Re: How do you keep your time at work? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20823145 nightdesigns : I'm salaried.

At a previous job where I was hourly, we originally had a paper time sheet and then we went to a web based one that was a PITA. Other jobs had card readers.

Wondering how you all clock in and out at your job? I have an electronic badge that I swipe when entering and leaving the building. I'm actually on salary, so it doesn't really keep track of my hours for pay, but can be pulled up to show if I'm at work or whatever.

At one job I had to fill out a paper timesheet, have my boss sign it at end of week, then send it to management.

What do you all do?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20822426 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:44:28 EDT
