TIME & ATTENDANCE
EMPLOYEE’S TIMECLOCK GUIDE

Timekeeping Policies
Timekeeping Record (MA1028)-The Automated Time and Attendance System is used as the primary
source of timekeeping in computing the employee’s wages earned and, as such, is the official record
of payment for hours worked.
All non-exempt employees will use the automated time and attendance system using designated
Timeclock devices. Exempt employees will use the time and attendance system to document Paid Time
Off, Education, etc.
The following are considered violations of the Methodist Hospital Standards of Conduct policy
(MA414) and are grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination. If you
have questions or concerns, speak with your supervisor, manager, or director.
 Employees may not knowingly clock another employee’s time or have someone else clock in/out
for them or falsify their time in any other manner.
 Employees may only use authorized timeclocks to clock in/out.
 Repeated failure to clock in or out and excessive erroneous corrections, and/or missed time
transactions by the employee may result in disciplinary action.
 In cases of employee error, employees must Log onto the API Time and Attendance Web Portal to
submit a request or complete a Time and Attendance Correction Request Form to their
timekeeper/supervisor. Uncorrected mistakes will not be paid on your pay check for that pay
period. No special checks will be issued. Employees will be paid on the next regular paycheck.
NOTE: Your entries into the timekeeping system are your official recorded times. Even if there
are no corrections you will still be required to sign your attestation (approval) daily.
