DCAA Timekeeping
The labor recording discipline DCAA expects on any contractor handling cost-reimbursement or time-and-materials work. The DCAA "Information for Contractors" pamphlet (DCAAM 7641.90) sets the floor: every employee records time daily, in their own hand or under their own electronic identity; time is charged to the specific job or indirect account worked; supervisor approval is documented; and corrections are made by line-out and initial, never by overwrite. A floor check (an unannounced DCAA visit comparing employees physically present to the timesheets in the system) is the most common live test of the system.
