Dos and Don'ts

When filling out a Time Card form, it's important to follow certain guidelines to ensure accuracy and compliance. Here are seven things you should and shouldn't do:

  • Do double-check your hours worked for accuracy.
  • Don't forget to include breaks and meal times as required.
  • Do write clearly to avoid any misunderstandings.
  • Don't submit the form without your supervisor's signature if needed.
  • Do use the correct format for dates and times.
  • Don't alter any information after submission without proper authorization.
  • Do keep a copy of your submitted Time Card for your records.

Common mistakes

  1. Inaccurate Time Entries: One common mistake is entering incorrect hours worked. This can happen when employees forget to track their time or miscalculate their hours.

  2. Omitting Breaks: Failing to account for breaks can lead to discrepancies in total hours worked. It's essential to include all breaks to ensure accurate reporting.

  3. Not Using the Correct Rate: Employees sometimes forget to apply the appropriate pay rate for overtime or different job roles. This can result in underpayment or overpayment.

  4. Missing Signatures: A time card without the necessary signatures may be considered invalid. Always ensure that the form is signed by both the employee and the supervisor.

  5. Submitting Late: Delays in submitting time cards can lead to payroll issues. Timeliness is crucial to ensure that payments are processed on schedule.

  6. Using Incorrect Dates: Entering the wrong date range can create confusion and lead to payment errors. Double-check the dates before submitting.

  7. Neglecting to Review: Failing to review the completed time card can result in overlooked mistakes. A quick check can catch errors before submission.

  8. Forgetting to Record Leave: Employees may forget to document sick leave or vacation days. Accurate records of leave are essential for payroll accuracy.

  9. Using Abbreviations: Using unclear abbreviations can lead to misunderstandings. It's best to write out terms fully to avoid confusion.

  10. Ignoring Company Policies: Some employees may not be aware of specific company policies regarding time card submissions. Familiarity with these rules is important to avoid mistakes.
