Drive time longer than 30 minutes to 1st store or longer than 30 minutes home at the end of the day and all drive time between stores is considered Drive Time and should be recorded
Meal Break Guidelines
All non-exempt associates are required to record meal breaks
Meal breaks must be recorded for compliance reasons

If the manager makes any corrections to the timesheet in Manager Self Service (MSS), he/she is required to record a reason code.

Key Learning Point
You must use Military time.
For example, 8:00 a.m. is entered as 08:00 and 2:00 pm is entered as 14:00. Entering time as military time allows for entries to cross midnight if needed – for example, 6 PM to 2 AM could be entered as 18:00 to 02:00.
For this example, we will use 08:00 (8 AM).
Note: See your Quick Reference Card for military time translation.
