Yes. All nonexempt team members are required to clock in and out to accurately record all time worked. Accurate timekeeping is a condition of employment and is required for proper pay and legal compliance.
At Leeds West Groups (LWG), time is recorded using the Dayforce time clock system, which is accessed through a designated terminal or work computer station at each work location. Timekeeping is not completed through personal devices.
How to Properly Clock In and Out
You must clock in and out at the exact time work activities begin and end.
General expectations include:
-
Clock in before performing any job duties.
-
Clock out after all work activities are complete.
-
Do not clock in more than 5 minutes early or remain clocked in after your shift without supervisor approval.
-
Do not perform any work unless you are clocked in.
Working without being clocked in, even briefly, is not permitted and must be reported immediately.
Which Time Clock Buttons Should I Use?
Using the correct buttons ensures your time is recorded accurately and prevents payroll delays or compliance issues.
Common Dayforce time clock buttons include:
-
Start Shift / End Shift: Use at the beginning and end of your workday.
-
Start Meal / End Meal: Use for unpaid meal periods.
-
Start Break / End Break: Use for paid rest breaks, where required by state law.
-
Work Transfer: Use when working at more than one location during the same shift.
-
Show Past Clock Entries: Use to review your punches for accuracy.
Always select the option that matches the activity you are starting or ending.
Important Reminders
-
You must personally record your own time. Buddy punching is strictly prohibited.
-
All shifts, meals, and rest breaks, paid or unpaid, must be recorded.
-
If you clock incorrectly or miss a punch, notify your supervisor immediately so it can be corrected.
