(2) An employer may, instead of an attendance register provide a semi automatic time recorder together with the necessary cards, which shall be as nearly as practicable in the form and manner as specified by the Council from time to time and supply to each employee such a card indicating the name or number of the employee and the date of termination of the week in respect of which it is to be used.

 

(3) Unless prevented from doing so by unavoidable circumstances, an employee shall in respect of each day worked by him or her and on that day —

(iv) the time of finishing work the day;
(v) the time of commencement and termination of overtime worked for the day;
(vi) the total number of hours worked for the day; and
(vii) his or her signature.
(b) in an establishment where a semi-automatic time recorder is provided, make an entry by means of such recorder on a card supplied in terms of subclause (2) to show the following:
(i) the time he or she commenced work;
(ii) the time of commencement and termination of all meal or other intervals which are not reckonable as ordinary hours of work; and
(iii) the time of finishing work for the day.
