I’ve always said that one of the worst things organizations can do is ask employees for their feedback and then do nothing with the information.

The company wants employee feedback, so employees take the time to (honestly) complete the survey…and then nothing.

While the Fair Labor Standards Act says that employers must keep records of all hours their employees work, it does not prescribe a specific timekeeping system or method. From that standpoint, the key is to choose a process that works for you and your company—as long as the information is complete and correct. For most companies, this involves some system of sign off before they submit an employee’s time card to payroll.
