Time Clock Policies

All hourly employees are required to punch in and out on an authorized LEO TimeCentre Time Clock in order to document time worked. Failure to comply can result in errors in payroll processing and payment for time worked. Continuous failure to clock in and/or out by hourly employees may result in disciplinary action.
All salaried employees such as 12-month Unclassified Staff, Department Heads, 12-month Faculty, 9-month Faculty, Graduate Assistants, Resident Assistants and Lecturers do not clock in or out.

Authorized Time Clocks are located throughout the University Campus. Employees may only use Southeastern Louisiana University computers to punch in or out on LEO TimeCentre eTime Clock.

Any employee who punches in or out from home, or any other unauthorized location, shall face disciplinary action. IP addresses on eTime Clock punches shall be closely monitored. Punching from an unauthorized location shall be considered payroll fraud, which is grounds for immediate termination. Any exceptions to this rule must first be approved in writing by the appropriate Vice President, and on file in the Human Resources Office prior to any employee clocking in or out from home.

No employee is permitted to clock in or out for another employee. Any employee who fails to clock in or out at the scheduled time must notify their Supervisor and indicate the correct time in or out on the Missed Punch Log maintained by the Timekeeper.

Excessive tardiness or absenteeism may result in disciplinary action.

Southeastern adheres to the following policy when calculating time worked by hourly employees:

Grace

Grace refers to when a time clocked in or out is not more then 7 minutes past a quarter hour (15-minute mark). The clocked in or out time is moved backward to the nearest quarter hour, and calculated for pay from that quarter hour mark.

Example:
Employee clocks in at 7:50 a.m. The time in is 5 minutes past the quarter hour (7:45), The time clocked in will be moved back to 7:45 a.m. and the employee's pay will be calculated as though the clocked in time was 7:45 a.m.

Rounding

Rounding refers to when a time clocked in or out is moved forward to the next nearest quarter hour (15-minute mark). This occurs when a time clocked in or out is within 7 minutes before the quarter hour mark.

Example:
Employee clocks in at 7:53 a.m. The time is 8 minutes past 7:45 a.m., and 7 minutes before 8:00 a.m. The time clocked in will be moved forward to 8:00 a.m., and the employee's pay will be calculated as though the clocked in time is 8:00 a.m.

Grace and Rounding rules apply to earning Overtime and Compensatory Time as well as work time.
Periods of 7 minutes do not earn Overtime or Compensatory Time. Overtime and Compensatory Leave is only earned in 15-minute increments.

Missed Punch Log

Click here for a Missed Punch Log

The Missed Punch Log is used to record the proper punch time whenever an hourly employee fails to punch in or out for any reason. Employees should report any time they miss punching in or out to the Supervisor via the Missed Punch Log kept by the Timekeeper. The Timekeeper will correct the missed punches in LEO TimeCentre 2000e.

The employee should indicate on the Missed Punch Log:

the date
name and social security number
the time in or time out missing
a brief explanation why they did not punch in or out on the Time Clock
sign their initials

The Timekeeper initials the form when the punch has been corrected on Missed Punches in LEO TimeCentre 2000e.

The Timekeeper should attach the Missed Punch Log with the Employee Exceptions Logs for each pay period, and keep on file for a minimum of three (3) years.

Employee Exceptions Log

Click here for an Employee Exceptions Log

The Employee Exceptions Log is used to record requests for leave time or to work additional time, and also to record actual leave time taken or additional time worked by an employee. The Timekeeper uses the Employee Exception Log to make the proper adjustments to the employee's Time Sheet.

All leave time or additional work time must be approved by the Supervisor. Timekeepers do not make the changes on the employee's Time Sheet in LEO's TimeCentre until the Supervisor has approved the request. Employees may, if the Supervisor allows, use e-mail to request additional time or leave time. The employee sends requests by e-mail to the Supervisor, with a duplicate of the e-mail sent to the Timekeeper. The Supervisor replies by e-mail to the employee, sending a duplicate to the Timekeeper, who then attaches the request and approval or denial to the Employee Exception Log.

9-month Faculty, Graduate Assistants, Resident Assistants, and Lecturers

Although TimeCentre's System Administrator maintains time sheets for 9-month Faculty, Graduate Assistants, Resident Assistants, and Lecturers, Timekeepers are responsible for maintaining Employee Exceptions Log for these employees. The Timekeeper must turn in any Employee Exception Logs completed for these employees to the Systems Administrator by 4:00 p.m. on the date that the pay period ends for payroll processing.

The Employee Exceptions Log is to be completed in Blue or Black ink by the employee.
The Timekeeper will note any adjustments to the Employee Exceptions Log in Red ink.

The employee should complete identifying information on top left side of form including name, department number, social security number, pay period.

To Request Leave Time:

1.	In the Leave Request box, the employee fills in: - Date in the Date column - Beginning and ending time in the Time column
2.	The employee then records the total amount of Leave Time requested in the appropriate column(s). KO = Compensatory Overtime Leave KS = Compensatory Straight Leave A = Annual Leave B = Sick Leave SP = Special Leave or any other type of Leave LWOP = Leave Without Pay FMLA = Family Medical Leave
3.	The employee indicates why the leave is being taken in the Remarks column, and then initials it.
4.	The employee initials the request and enters the date in the Date of Request column.
5.	The Supervisor must initial to indicate approval or to deny approval for Leave time.
6.	The Timekeeper initials the form in the appropriate column after the employee's Time Sheet in TimeCentre has been adjusted to reflect the leave time taken.

To Request Additioanl Work Time:

2.	The employee indicates if the request is for Overtime or for Compensatory time.
3.	The employee indicates why the additional work time is being requested in the Reason for Request field.
4.	The Supervisor marks and dates whether the request is Approved or Not Approved. The Supervisor then signs the Request.

To Record Additional Time Worked:
