17 Timekeeping Need written procedures providing clear guidance of what is expected Timekeeping system must identify employee s labor hours and labor cost by intermediate or final cost objective Final cost objective typically = contract Intermediate cost objective = indirect cost pool Timekeeping system should be able to segregate labor dollars and fringe benefit dollars by element Davis Bacon (certified payroll)
18 Timekeeping Requirements of an adequate labor accounting system include: - Training - Monitoring - Must record all hours worked (TTA-Total Time Accounting) - Employees must complete their own timesheet - Timesheets must be approved - Must have an audit trail (explain changes) DCAA may perform Floor Check Audit
