Is there a Federal Law that says employees must keep track of their hours at work on a form?

I have been told at work that it is a Federal law that we must fill out a time card or time sheet or sign in with a computer in order to keep track of our hours. I can see that the employer may demand this but I don't know of any Federal Law saying that it must be done.

    There is no federal law requiring *employees* to do so. It's a requirement that must be met by the employer. Of course, they can make it a requirement of your employment to do so, thereby saving them the trouble.

  • The law simply says that the employer has to keep a record. They can certainly require it, and can refuse to pay (or simply fire the employee) if proper records are not kept.
