7. STEP-BY-STEP EXECUTION GUIDE

1. Deployment: Copy the grid above into a Google Sheet. Apply "Data Validation" to the 'Date' column and use =SUM() formulas in the 'Total Hours' column to automate calculation and prevent arithmetic errors.
2. Access Control: Share the Google Sheet with the employee using "Commenter" access or a protected range to ensure the Employee cannot modify historical records once the supervisor has countersigned.
3. Verification: Upon the close of the reporting period, export the sheet as a PDF. Retain the PDF in the company’s secure HR portal as the "Official Record of Hours."
4. Compliance Audit: Conduct a monthly spot-check against system logs (e.g., VPN login timestamps, badge access logs) to verify consistency between recorded hours and system activity.
