The complete and accurate recording of actual working and leave hours is not only an Auburn University policy but more importantly a federal law which ensures that employees are paid fairly for the work that they perform.
Auburn University employees whose positions are designated as nonexempt are required by the FLSA to maintain accurate daily records of work time — usually through Kronos, the electronic timekeeping system used at Auburn.
Important Points
-
Employees whose positions are designated as non-exempt must record actual hours worked as well as paid and unpaid absences.
-
Time should be recorded in Kronos via the time clock or time stamp. Time can be submitted on paper only when Kronos isn’t an option and must reflect actual starting and stopping times of work as opposed to the established work schedule.
-
Employees whose positions are designated as non-exempt are responsible for punching in and out on the timeclock. While there may be the occasional missed punch, supervisors should not be adjusting timesheets for their employees regularly.
-
Supervisors have the responsibility and obligation to ensure that all working hours and leave hours are properly recorded.
-
All leave must be requested, approved, and logged in Kronos.

Overtime
-
The federal overtime provisions in the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) requires that any hours worked over 40 in a workweek are paid at a rate of not less than 1 1/2 times the regular rate of pay.
-
Averaging of hours over two or more weeks is not permitted. Normally, overtime pay earned in a particular workweek must be paid on the regular pay day for the pay period in which the wages were earned.
