Let's say a scientist needs to read a set of plates and it will take 20 minutes, but they come due to read at 10 p.m. on Sat. night.
Some ninny plated them. Knowing well that they would have to be read at this time.
How much time would be recorded:
a. the 20 minutes
b. a minimum of 2 hours of work time as per union rules
c. other
I think the time recorded would include the prep and clean up times. In any case, the times when the scientist badged in and then out would also be on record.
I don’t know about union rules regarding the minimum time to put on the time card. If they’re filling out a time card like the one I fill out, they would only be putting down the number of hours worked, not when they were worked.
I saw above that you’re a honeybee scientist. So, what’s the latest on the bee sudden death syndrome?
