Time Charging
Electric Boat has earned an excellent reputation for ethical business conduct through the efforts of its employees. As you know our business principles are clearly stated in the Blue Book, otherwise known as our company code of conduct. Although each of us should be familiar with the contents of the Blue Book, an occasional reminder regarding a specific topic helps to reinforce our training.
It is your responsibility to record your time promptly and accurately. When direct charging time you should be sensitive to the differences between those things you do for the govern-ment and those things you do for yourself.
With that said, you must always be mindful of the following:
Be certain that you are charging the correct shop order at all times.
The ATA system records your time in six-minute increments.
The government should not be paying for time taken to do personal business.
When leaving your work area to conduct personal business, clock out.
Lunch periods are thirty minutes in length.
The ATA Working Lunch function is not intended to be used to achieve a 40 hour work week.
You are responsible for charging your time correctly – do not be misled by any other employee.
If you knowingly make false time charges, you may be guilty of a crime.
Time-charging misconduct can result in termination of your employment.
If you suspect or witness time charging issues, use good judgment and immedi-ately report the matter to your supervisor, manager, Human Resources or Secu-rity.
EB Ethics Director, Frank Capizzano (860-433-1278) is available to assist anyone regard-ing questions or issues that may relate to ethical decision making. The GD Ethics Helpline is also available 24/7 and can be reached at 800-433-8442 or 503-619-1815 for internation-al callers. Online access to the Ethics Helpline is available at www.gd.ethicspoint.com. where you can ask a question, express a concern or report ethical misconduct.
Remember – When in doubt, always ask.
