Periodic floor checks by the DCAA and internal reviews will be performed to ensure the following guidelines are being followed:

• New employees will be fully indoctrinated on proper timekeeping practices.
• Employees must personally record their time on timesheets. Unless unusual temporary circumstances exist (e.g. sick with need to submit timesheet to be paid) completion of timesheets by supervisors or administrative staff is unacceptable.
• Project numbers will be provided by your supervisor.
• Employees must record their time on a daily basis. Actual time rather than preestablished estimates must be reflected.
• All hours actually worked should be recorded.
• Employees and supervisors must sign timesheets certifying the accuracy of the recorded labor effort.
• Corrections to timesheets must be made by drawing a line through the incorrect entry and replacing it with the correct entry. All corrections must be initialed by both the employee
  and supervisor. No erasure or "white-outs" are allowed.
• An employee found altering, falsifying or tampering with timesheets, or recording time
  on another employee's timesheet may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including
  termination.
