The Cal Poly Foundation handles the post-award administration for grant and
contract activity for the University.

 - We require time cards of all faculty & staff working on an
 add-comp basis as well as temporary/casual and student employees.

 - The employee (regardless of class or category), fills out and signs their
own
 time cards.  The PI/Project Director also signs the timecard.  In the
timecard
 is for the PI/Project Director and is a faculty member, he/she submits it
to
 the department head for signature.  In the event the PI/PD timecard is
the
 department head, then the dean signs.

 - We have two separate forms of timecards.  One timecard may be submitted
 for each project (fund source), or we have a timecard that accommodates
 multiple projects (up to four accounts).  I will fax a copy of each
(including
 the form(s) we use for students.)

Hope this provides some food for thought .... joyce

I am interested in learning the time card procedures employed at
various institutions, and I would very much appreciate any
information you can provide (even FAX me samples of your time cards),
particularly answers to the following questions:

1.  Do you require time cards of all faculty and staff?
2.  Who does the times cards -- the employee or a secretary?
3.  Do you prepare a time card for each salary source (when there is
more than one grant award, for example) or are all salary sources
incorporated in one document?

Thanks for
your
help!
