Subchapter 24.16.10 - Hours Worked
Rule 24.16.1012 - RECORDING WORKING TIME
Current through Register Vol. 24, December 22, 2023
(1) Applicable regulations governing keeping of records. Section 39-3-403 MCA of the law authorizes the Commissioner to promulgate regulations requiring the keeping of records of hours worked, wages paid and other conditions of employment.
(2) Where records show insubstantial or insignificant periods of time. In recording working time under the law, insubstantial or insignificant periods of time beyond the scheduled working hours, which cannot as a practical administrative matter be precisely recorded for payroll purposes, may be disregarded. This rule applies only where there are uncertain and indefinite periods of time involved of a few seconds or minutes duration, and where the failure to count such time is due to considerations justified by industrial realities. An employer may not arbitrarily fail to count as hours working time or practically ascertainable periods of time he is regularly required to spend on duties assigned to him:
(3) Use of time clocks.
Eff. 12/31/72.
