If I currently get paid an hourly rate but my company has recently changed it’s time sheet procedure, do I have to account for every minute of my day?

Can my employer dock my pay if i cannot account for every minute of my day. For example toilet breaks or work problems?

Whether or not you have to account for every minute of your day at work due to the new time sheet procedure for all employees of your employer depends upon how the new time sheet entry procedure is set up. As such you need to carefully read the time sheets as well as all memorandums issued as to it for the answer to your question.

If you have further questions as to it, I suggest that you consult with your human resources department to get the answer you seek.
