Quick answer
This Remote hours processing runs locally and does not upload; browser extensions can still read the page. Remote hours count actual work, not just online time.
Why it matters
Local processing reduces upload risk but is not absolute security.
Define core hours/response expectations.
Step by step
- Confirm company/local rules for hours, breaks and overtime.
- Record start/end and break minutes daily; don't reconstruct the week later.
- Total by week and check duplicates/missing/overnight shifts.
- Confirm the overtime threshold (e.g. 40 h/week) before calculating.
- Export CSV/screenshot before submitting and keep approval records.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting breaks, inflating hours.
- Counting an overnight shift only on the start day and losing hours.
- Treating 8 h/day as the overtime threshold.
- Submitting without a copy, leaving no evidence in a pay dispute.
Checklist
- Daily records, not weekend reconstruction.
- Breaks/overnight/night shifts handled correctly.
- Weekly total and OT threshold confirmed.
- Rate/multiplier/rounding rules confirmed.
- CSV exported/approval records kept.
Key facts
- Define core hours/response expectations.
- Don't mix commute/on-call into hours.
