HOW TO FILL OUT
YOUR TIMECARD
• It is an important part of your
employment with FPC that you
record your work time in and out
daily.
• It is against wage and hour law to
complete a time card for a fellow
employee. Any employee caught
doing this could be subject to
disciplinary actions up to and
including termination
• Do not write in the accounting box
SAMPLE AND
INSTRUCTIONS

Regular time in and time out is to be
recorded as indicated in this example. NH
Labor laws require that we offer you a ½
hour lunch break if you work more than
five consecutive hours.
If your supervisor has given you
permission, you may eat while you work
through your lunch break.
You must
indicate no lunch taken on your timecard as
NL on the applicable date.
This is how time is recorded if you left
during your work day for reasons such as a
doctor,
dentist
or
for
personal
appointments.

Changes to your
timecard
• It is vital that when you (the
employee) complete your timecard
you
must by law initial any
changes that are made.
• If upon review, the supervisor
believes that an employee’s time
was incorrectly recorded on their
timecard, the supervisor must meet
with the employee to discuss the
potential error. Once a resolution is
made, any alterations must be
initialed by the employee.
Important Tips
• You must submit your timecard to your
supervisor immediately following the end of
the pay period. Failure to do so could result in
disciplinary actions up to and including
termination.
• You are not allowed to use white-out on your
timecard
• Pencils cannot be used, all timecards must be
done in blue or black ink only
• If you need to make a correction on your time,
cross out the time with one line through the time
(5:00 pm)
SUPERVISOR
Responsibilities
• Ensure employee completely fills out
their time card
• Gather all employee’s time cards and
review them for accuracy
• Only the employee is allowed to alter
their timecards. If the employee
changes their timecard, they must
initial all changes
• Submit signed cards to the Payroll
Office no later than Monday at 9am
SUPERVISING
STUDENT
EMPLOYMENT
When employing a student worker you MUST:
•
Have completed the student work papers and have
submitted them to the Financial Aid Department
PRIOR to the student working for you.
•
Upon hiring the student, it is your responsibility to go
over the FPC timecard training with the student to
insure that they know how to complete a timecard.
You will also want to go over your procedures for
timecard submission.
•
It is a good idea to question the part time
employee/student to see if they are working for
another Department at FPC. (Overtime issues could
occur if a student employee works more than 40
hours collectively at the College.)
7 & 7 RULE
This chart can quickly assist you in determining whether you are paid to
the next quarter hour or not. For example: If you arrive at 8:07, you
will be paid from 8:00am. If you leave at 4:39, you will be paid to
4:45.
