Pay Period Hour Reporting
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide time reporting requirements for all employees of Intellipop.
General Information
A “work hour” is any hour of the day that is worked and authorized to be worked and should be recorded to the nearest tenth of an hour.
“Authorized hours” are work hours that a manager assigns to complete a task.
The “workday” is defined as eight hours of authorized work between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 pm. Employees may also be assigned to alternative schedules to include flextime or compressed workweeks with the authorization of their managers.
The “workweek” covers seven consecutive days beginning on Saturday at 12:00 AM and ending on Friday at 11:59 PM. Alternative workweeks may be established for specific projects or departmental needs with the authorization of a vice president. The usual workweek period is 40 hours.
Supervisory, managerial and executives do not qualify for premium pay but are expected to record all hours worked to the nearest half hour for workload management purposes.

Employees will submit their time records weekly as directed by their managers, either online or in hard copy. Time records must show all hours worked with project codes or departmental codes and labor distribution codes (e.g., hours worked, vacation time, sick time) that were incurred for the week. Time records should not be completed in advance.
Exempt employees who are eligible for premium pay should indicate the premium pay authorization code provided by their managers for all eligible hours.
