While I supposed the app would also allow you to keep time for someone else (as the phone does not know who you are keeping records for), your question really goes beyond that. All employers have an obligation under the federal wage and hour laws to keep accurate records of time worked by their non-exempt employees and to pay them appropriately for all time worked. If you do not feel this is happening, either because employees are not recording time accurately or because supervisors are telling employees to not record time properly, you should let someone within the organization know – usually this is someone in HR, but if you are unionized, your union representative should be able to provide you guidance.

I am having a problem where we are being told by our supervisor to report working longer days that we actually work.

Oddly I am union and state employed. On top of that HR says they have to say what is correct, but they will turn a blind eye?

Maybe it seems strange, but I would rather have everyone work true 8 hrs, which is 81/2 with lunch and breaks, than be working 7.5 and defrauding the public.
