Non-exempt employees should report to their work area no more than seven minutes prior to
their scheduled starting time nor stay in their work area more than seven minutes after their
scheduled stop time without express, prior authorization from their supervisor.
If corrections or modifications are made to the time record, both the employee and the
supervisor must verify the accuracy of the changes.
Some employees must keep track of their time for grant reporting, lobbying reporting, attorney
fee recoveries, or other reasons. This includes exempt employees. All NWF employees are
responsible for the accurate and fair recording and reporting of their time worked or leave
taken for each pay period. Supervisors are responsible for reviewing, approving and
addressing any issues with their direct reports, Human Resources, Benefits or Payroll regarding
time entry.
Employee Self Service System
All employees are required to use the self-service system each pay period to allocate their time
to the appropriate project(s) and to record any leave taken. Each employee is assigned a user
identification and password to electronically enter hours worked and leave used each pay
period. Employee entries are reviewed and approved electronically by the appropriate
supervisor prior to noon on the day scheduled for submission to payroll.
Attendance and Punctuality
To maintain a safe and productive work environment, NWF expects you to be reliable and
punctual in reporting for scheduled work. Absenteeism and tardiness place a burden on
other employees and on NWF. In the rare instances when you cannot avoid being late to
work or are unable to work as scheduled, you should notify your supervisor, or if the
supervisor is not available, the Human Resources Department at 703-438-6494 as soon as
possible in advance of the anticipated tardiness or absence. Poor attendance and excessive
tardiness are disruptive. Either may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination of your employment.
In the event you have missed three consecutive days of work with no word to your supervisor,
NWF will consider you to have abandoned your job and NWF may terminate your
employment. If you have missed three days of work, your supervisor may require you to
present a doctor's note substantiating your claim that you were unable to work. Upon
request, a second doctor's note shall be presented to your supervisor confirming the date
that you have been cleared by your doctor to return to work.
Overtime
When operating requirements or other needs cannot be met during regular working hours
you may be scheduled to work overtime hours. When possible, advance notification of these
mandatory assignments will be provided.
