2. Overview
Previously, Food Services staff time records were combined on one sheet per pay period and submitted to the Timekeeper
With the implementation of the new reporting requirements, each Food Service employee will now submit a two-sided time record that will capture the 1st thru 15th days of the month on one side of the record and the 16th-31st days on the other side (Attachments A and B)
To be in compliance with federal regulations, Food Service employees need to provide a breakdown of work performed under each federal program.

As shown on the slide, each program shows the correlating program, fund, and functional area. Notice in Grey the numbers 1, 2 and 4. These are short keys that were created in SAP to simplify the time reporting process for the timekeepers.

13. Pertinent Information on the Time Record
Employees will designate how much time is spent on each activity within each program daily.
Note: At the end of each program, there is a sub-total section.
The Payroll Minutes to Decimals chart (below) is on the form to assist employees with capturing their time accurately. Ex. 1 minute equals 0.02 of an hour. 5 minutes equals 0.08 of an hour.

The subtotals of each program should then be combined in the TOTAL All Programs row on each day. This should equal the amount of time the employee signed in and out for each day.

15. Signatures
Lastly, the employee should sign and date the form. The employee’s supervisor (Food Services Manager/Area Food Services Manager) will sign the form as well.
Note: Food Service Managers are expected to review staff records to ensure accuracy. Although employees will be manually inputting their time, the Manager can utilize the Excel version to assist with calculations.
Employees are signing to certify that these are the hours claimed for the activities worked. The Manager’s role is to ensure that the hours claimed by the employee match what he or she was assigned.

16. Timekeeper’s Role
A copy of the time records should be submitted to the SAA or Time Reporter weekly to ensure that he/she has adequate time to report the information. It should be submitted no later than Friday by 12 noon.
An alternate time/date can be designated provided the Cafeteria Manager has discussed this with his/her Timekeeper.
The timekeeper’s role is to accurately input the time that has been provided to him or her through the employee’s time record.

17. Additional Hours
Additional hours will now be captured on the a new form seen on the screen. Similar to the change in Time Record, the additional hours form has been changed to capture the various program information. Each sheet is for an individual employee and can cover a full pay period. As you can see, the employee will input the additional hours worked under the relevant program.
Please note: the new time record shows the in and out time, therefore additional hours or OT should be reflected on that form as well.
