    Effective Timekeeping in the Workplace
    Attorneys Sarah Sawyer and Russell Berger of Offit Kurman discuss best practices for tracking hourly employees’ time to ensure accurate pay, overtime compliance, and proper recordkeeping. They explain that mistakes can create significant legal exposure under federal and state wage laws, including doubled damages under federal law and treble or greater damages. Key tips include using a reliable timekeeping system with clear rules, allowing employees to correct inaccurate entries, properly handling paid short breaks versus unpaid uninterrupted meal breaks, and training managers. They also recommend periodic audits and watching for “too clean” time records that may signal problems.
