Middle of the middle west | I remember years ago, when I was low man on the totem pole I would just write my hours on a sheet of paper at the end of the week, or just give it verbally to the secretary.
Over the years, at different jobs it was various forms of billing time to different projects on paper which then usually had to be inputed electronically by the manager or secretary.
To finally "punching in" on a keypad and the manager allocates your time from there. This was at my last "real" job about 5 or 6 years ago.
All I remember is the more electronic it got and the more management got involved the more time it wasted getting everything sorted out. At one or two jobs, I caught my manager shorting me hours. Quit one job because of it. If you went over 24 hours in a day, it was the end of the world. I would not trust any of these electronic devices to keep track of your hours. Always keep a separate paper coper for yourself and have your company give you a copy of theirs. |
