You don't want to know what the people down in the payroll office have been calling you, having to deal with late timecards.

P-C, it will probably come out of your PTO/vacation if it's coded that way, and HR/Payroll will manually have to go back in to change it. Which will be a pain in the ass. Also be prepared to not get a paycheck.

I'm not sure if a blank timecard that says I worked 0 hours every day would guarantee I got paid. I was afraid it would do the opposite.

I was assuming he would think it wasn't blank. Since you're supposed to fill it out to get paid.

That makes sense. I'm trying to be better!

Amy, no. ADP assumes no hours worked until the employee inputs them. He may have approved the 0 hours card as a lesson.

Sunil, fill out the time card at the beginning of the pay period. If you have to take unexpected leave, then go back and fix it. It's not weird to input hours you haven't worked. I'm pretty sure your boss won't approve it until the end, to ensure you've actually worked those hours. Then the task is done, and your name will no longer be taken in vain by HR/Payroll.

We have to assign our hours to specific project codes, though, so I try to be as accurate with that as possible. That's the part that takes time, allotting the hours appropriately.

Oh. Well, maybe he did it purposely then. Which is a little pointed, but hey, now you know not to wait.

Can you keep track of your hours each day? Even if you don't input them into the system, but notate it on a piece of paper then the end of the pay period shouldn't be too painful.

Yeah, I've thought about doing that. It would definitely make it a lot easier. And probably improve my accuracy!
