It depends on whether you are “anytime” or “realtime”.
- “Anytime” non-exempt employees will enter their hours worked and leave taken into CalTime using a computer at any time during the biweekly pay cycle. If you are “anytime”, we encourage you to record your time frequently or even daily, to make sure all hours and overtime are entered correctly.
- “Real-time” non-exempt employees (including student employees) will use CalTime on a real-time basis, meaning as soon as they start or stop work. Real-time employees are generally in departments where timekeeping terminals (time clocks) have traditionally been used or where employees lack ready access to computers. If you use a time clock now, you will likely continue to do so.
