Overview

The Time and Attendance Instructions (TNAINST) procedure provides instructions and reference information for (1) timekeepers to record time in pay status, paid leave, and leave without pay (LWOP) and (2) supervisors to certify that the data recorded by the timekeeper is accurate. It also incorporates timekeeping requirements specified by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) Policy and Procedures Manual and Title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations (5 CFR) Parts 1-699 and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

This procedure uses examples based on GovTA, Paycheck8, System for Time and Attendance Reporting (STAR), and webTA.

Agencies using another entry program may use this procedure as a reference for the fundamental reporting requirements for NFC’s processing specifications.
