Timesheets That Do Double Duty

Tracking activities and time off

Timesheets can do more than track the number of hours for which a member will be paid. Consider making your form a record of how time was spent and/or a way to report progress.

Inevitably, members will ask for time away. Having a process and policies in place will help you handle these requests consistently, especially if you have multiple sites.

Keep in mind that AmeriCorps members need to work 1700 hours in 12 months, while VISTAs have no total hourly requirement, they do get 10 personal and 10 sick days.

See how one AmeriCorps program tracks hours and handles time off requests.

You can also read about a Youth Corps program's policy of earned time off.
