Employee Time Tracking: Keeping Tabs on Hours and Breaks

Wage and hour issues are some of the most common obstacles for employers. Therefore, when tracking hours worked for non-exempt employees, employers must ensure the minimum wage and overtime provisions are met (regardless of how the employees’ pay is determined). Employers are permitted to track the hours worked for salary-exempt employees, however since their pay is not based on the number of hours they work, it is not required.
