Timesheet: Fill & Download for Free

This is how I learned how crooked employers can be, right at the start of my career. 1984, first job out of university. Five young women were hired by Sperry Corp. We were working on a contract for the State of Texas which involved a lot of traveling and overtime to install and look after a new computer system.We had to fill out two timesheets, one for our employer (single copy) and one for the State of Texas (triplicate). We were told to put eight hours per day on the employer timesheet but our real work hours on the State’s timesheet, because we were not going to get overtime pay from our employer. So, 40 hours per week for Sperry, 50+ for the State usually, since we often started by leaving on Sunday night and didn’t get back until Friday night. Travel hours were considered work hours. It was no fun, especially since we weren’t allowed any vacation time the first year.If you’ve ever worked in IT, you know you get stuck working weekends and holidays when fewer people mind if the system is down. Thus we were working on Thanksgiving weekend doing testing, along with some seasoned employees, all male. It was boring and we had lots of time to chat. One of them said “at least you are getting overtime for this”. We wryly laughed - “ha ha NO.” Two of them replied, “Well you should be, you’ve been here less than six months and they automatically classify you as non-exempt for six months when you are new.” Then some comments about the bosses probably not telling us this and figuring we wouldn’t complain because we were female.We quickly realized we had one copy of the triplicate time sheets for each week we’d been working, because we kept part of the State’s timesheet. Of the four of us ladies remaining, two did not want to make a fuss about it, and two of us decided to confront the bosses. We added up our overtime and had a plan going in.Our supervisor and his boss and his boss’s boss actually admitted they hadn’t paid us on purpose! Because “the project didn’t have the budget.” Really brazen and condescending attempt at deflecting us. I pointed out this was still illegal and I’d go to the EEOC if they didn’t make good on what they owed. We said we wanted a paid week off at Christmas and cash to make up for the overtime, which they gave us. Our two colleagues who were afraid to complain got nothing. My friend and I had a nice ski vacation together with the proceeds.I immediately found another job and moved away within a few weeks. Later I got to be an agent of karma: I rose to a position in my company where I had influence on decisions around large contract awards. When Unisys (formerly Sperry Corp) was competing for our business, I made sure my fellow decision-makers knew about my story. It’s bad business to cheat your employees!

Unfortunately, I was the boss in this case. I had started a new job as a manager two weeks before when the person who had been the acting manager before me told me I needed to look at the timecard of one of my employees who was working a lot of overtime. He said she had been mischarging for a while, and the security logs would prove it.At this company, whenever you came in before 7:00 AM or left after 6:00 PM Monday to Friday, you had to sign the security log. You also had to sign the log if you came in Saturday or Sunday. When I looked at this employee’s timecard she had several 12 hour days during the week, and worked the past Saturday. However, when I checked the security logs, she had not signed in or out any of the days she said she worked.I asked security for the logs back to the beginning of the year (about 5 months). I compared the log sheets with her timesheets and found a pattern of charging 12 hour days or weekend work where she did not sign the security sheets. She also worked some days where she signed in before 7:00 or out after 6:00 which were supported by the timesheets.I collected the information and went to my manager. He said I was new on the job and offered to handle this for me. I had worked as a manager in previous jobs so I told him I was hired for the manager job, I can handle difficult situations.I reviewed all the material with Human Resources and they agreed there was a pattern of mischarging. I had security ready when I called this employee into my office. I presented the information showing she had mischarged for the past 2 weeks. I asked if there was a reason for the mistakes on her timesheet. She said she was not feeling good and had left early on those days, but did not mean to mischarge, it was just a mistake.I had proof this had been going on for at least 5 months, so I asked if this had ever happened before. She swore this was the only time she had misrepresented her time, she was sorry and would approve of the time from the last timesheet being deducted from her next paycheck. I asked again if she had ever done this before and she said again this was the first time she had ever mischarged her time.I told her to take her belongings from her desk, and I had security there to make sure that was all she took. I really hated to do this, especially after 3 weeks on the job. However, if you are a manager, your job is to protect the company from theft, and getting paid for time you are not working is just that, theft.

If you forgot to fill the time sheet and if the time sheet for that respective month freezes, then your leaves will be deducted.The order of priority of leaves deducted areCasualSick andEarnedOnce the leaves are deducted, you can see the respective leave requests raised in GESS in your Ultimatix.Here comes the main part :Every associate will be given one chance in every appraisal cycle to cancel the leave requests that are raised if the associate forgets to fill the timesheet and leaves get deducted after the timesheet freezes.So if it is the first time in this appraisal that you forgot to fill the timesheet and leaves got deducted, then you can cancel the leave requests and approach your supervisor. Your supervisor will approve your request if it was the first time and you again will be credited back with your leaves.If it's the second time in that appraisal cycle period, then I'm sorry you have to lose your leaves.There's no way of getting them back.Hope my answer clarifies your question.If u like my answer , do upvote it .
