On March 31, 2011 the Office of the Inspector General – USPS released their findings regarding allegations of inaccurate time and attendence records.
The IG states that “Management controls over time and attendance at the locations included in our audit were not adequate to ensure employees’ workhours were reported accurately. As a result, we could not determine with certainty the reasons supervisors altered employee time and attendance records. Specifically, we found that Postal Service supervisors did not complete the required Postal Service (PS) Form 1017-A, Time Disallowance Record, or PS Form 3971, Request for or Notification of Absence, from the Enterprise Resource Management System (eRMS).”
The IG investigation also found questionable deletions of employee clock rings at Dover, NH; Gastonia, NC; and Parkville, MO Post Offices. Their report also states “In addition, supervisors did not follow procedures for documenting employees’ out-of-schedule changes3 in TACS. Furthermore, we found supervisors at the Parkville, MO Post Office improperly charged safety talks and informational meetings to operation code 782, Training.

Non-payment of Out-of-Schedule Overtime premium is going to explode with NTFT duty assignments. Isn’t that NIFTY?
Employees should have access to their own clock rings in ePayroll.
