§ 82-174. General provisions

(a) Employees leaving the premises during working hours for reasons other than county business shall clock out when leaving and clock in when returning to work.

(b) Employees who do not record hours worked by the payroll deadline due to lack of preplanning for vacation, sick time, errors or accidental omissions must notify their supervisor as soon as possible.

(c) Employees who forget to record their time shall notify their supervisor. Employees who consistently forget to record their time shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. For example, more than three missed entries in one month may be considered excessive and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. If time worked, overtime, compensatory time, sick leave payment time, or any other payment is not turned in before the payroll deadline, it will roll over to the next pay period.

(d) Employees shall not correct another employee's time records to account for vacation time, sick time, errors and accidental omissions unless instructed to do so by their supervisor. Errors in the time record shall be reported to the supervisor for correction.

(e) Tampering, altering and/or falsifying information on an employee's own or another employee's time record shall result in disciplinary action that may include termination, as well as possible criminal charges.
