Are employees and/or their supervisors required to sign employee timesheets?

Nothing in the law requires an employee to sign a timecard or denies a supervisor the right to change a timecard to accurately reflect the time worked. The time record requirements appear in both the Labor Code and Industrial Welfare Com­mission (IWC) orders, which state in part:

• Every employer shall keep accurate information with respect to each employee including the following:
  1. Full name, home address, occupation and Social Security number.
  2. Birthdate, if under 18 years, and designation as a minor.
