This has been a topic of previous discussion and is also based on your business approach. We have elected to hold the machinists responsible for correctly recording their hours. This is as much a part of their job descriptions as correctly manufacturing the parts. Since we use MES for payroll hours, we have a daily process to review labor hours. The corrections are made through labor entry and the director of operations addresses the issue with the employee.
