Timeclock Adjustment Request

When you were hired or contracted to work at ABC Custom Advertising, it was understood that you would perform the work as agreed and get paid for it as agreed.  The Online Timeclock has been set up to keep track of the time you work so that you will be paid appropriately.  Adjustments should rarely be needed, but this form is provided for you to use when the need arises.

You Should Be Aware of the Following:

· LUNCH BREAK IS REQUIRED.  It is expected that during any day that you work five (5) or more hours, you will take a one-hour lunch break (unpaid).  During your break you may remain in the building or leave, but you will not be required to work at all during this break.  If you choose to leave the premesis for your lunch break, you need to clock out when you leave and clock in when you return.  If you return to the building before your hour lunch break is over, you may clock back in right away.  If the timeclock does not show a break for lunch, or if the break indicated is less than one hour, adjustment will be automatically made to show a one-hour lunch break.

· Short Lunch or No Lunch.  As an exception, there may be times when it may be helpful for you to take a shorter lunch break or even have no lunch break at all.  Note that this is an exception to be made ONLY at the request of your employer.  We appreciate your cooperation, and you are to be paid for all the time you work.  Please include a note with your timeclock punch that indictes “Short Lunch” or “No Lunch.”  This will be verified by your supervisor and your pay will reflect the exception properly.

· YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO CLOCK IN AND OUT.  It is the intention of your employer that you will be paid correctly for the time that you work.  It is your responsibility to see that your time is reported correctly.  You are responsible to clock in when you begin to work and to clock out when you leave.  If you forget to clock in or out, this makes unnecessary work for timekeeping to add an IN or OUT time, and even more if it is necessary to research to find what the missing time should be.  Please be aware and keep the need for adjustments to a minimum.

·  IF THE INTERNET IS DOWN or for some reason you are unable to clock in or out normally, please punch the clock as soon as possible (on the same day) and include a note that tells what the correct time should be.  Also complete this adjustment request.  The easiest way to verify a time for when the internet is down is to take a piece of paper and punch the time on it using the black timeclock.  Write your name on it and put it in the box and as you complete this form, note that this can be verified by ‘box.’

· MISSING TIME PUNCHES will be treated as follows:  If you failed to punch in, a time will be automatically supplied — one minute before your out time.   If you fail to punch out, the automatically supplied time will be one minute after you punched in.  It is up to you to provide verification of the correct time and request the adjustment.

· DON’T DELAY REQUESTING CORRECTIONS.  If you request and adjustment (and it is verified to be correct) and your request is received after pay has been processed for the period, the adjustment will not be seen until the following paydate.
