How do I log my time on post?
When you are assigned to a post, you must log your time using the PTS device.
The PTS device is how the company verifies:
- That you were on post
- The time you arrived
- The time you left
If you do not log your time, there is no record that you worked.
This video shows you exactly how to log in and log out using the PTS device.
Every time you are on post, you must use the PTS device. No exceptions.
