Role of timekeepers

What is a timekeeper?

A timekeeper is an employee who oversees exempt and non-exempt timekeeping processes for an entire work unit or department. Before assuming their duties, timekeepers are provided with special training on timekeeping processes, their unit-specific non-exempt timekeeping system, and CalTime.

Timekeepers carry out the following tasks:

  • Follow up for missing supervisor approvals*
  • Review and sign off on timecards submitted by supervisors in their designated areas
  • Process manual timekeeping actions for certain leave codes
  • Work with the CalTime team to resolve issues
  • Relay feedback about the system to the CalTime team

* While timekeepers follow up for supervisor approvals, it is the supervisor’s responsibility to follow up with employees on their timecard approval.
