No, our staff does not clock in but I do keep a record of the hours I am working and where I am in my Outlook calendar in case there is ever a question.

| I don't clock in, but I keep a record of my hours. Mainly as I take time off in lieu for all the extra hours I work, so I want to keep track! Also, my vicar likes to keep an eye on the number of hours I work, and regularly tells me off for working too long. It's kinda sweet.

WOW! Send your Vicor a box of chocolates for being such a supportive leader! Sounds like you have a balanced and healthy ministry team!
The way you keep a record of your hours sure is a good way to hold yourself accountable as well as help you be accountable to your supervisors!

| I am salaried and do not punch a timeclock but am expected to write down my hours. Some days or weeks (VBS) it is a ton and some not so much. It is frustrating sometimes that I am working when others aren't there to see. On Sundays I work all morning (while everyone is in worship) and then evenings I work while my kids are at youth groups (long after everyone else has left for the day.) Then I am there about 7:30 every morning since I have to drop my kids off early at school but no one else rolls in until 9 or 10:30. I have to remember I'm being a good steward of the church's money whether or not anyone else sees.

| Our staff is expected to work up to 50 hours/week. If we work more than that, we can take comp time. If most other professionals in the congregation work at least 40 hours/week at their job, and then are expected to worship and serve in the church on top of that, how can we who are paid church staff not expect the same from ourselves? In other words, we're looking at around 40 hours in & out of the office, then worship & small group time on top of that, plus anything above and beyond that (including overtime in the office, serving in the community, or ministering to individuals) that takes it to 50 hours. It would be difficult to ask volunteers to give their time if we weren't willing to give of our (unpaid) time also. We don't punch a clock or turn in a time sheet.
