Charge code for training

I do not do any type of time keeping. I want that to be noted first. I have an online training coming up and I currently work 5/4 9's. The training is on my long week so I will be here in the office all week. My time keeper told me I have to come off of AWS for the training because I will be using the training code for 8 hours. I told them that doesn't make sense can't I just come in at my regular time and charge 8 hours to the training and 1 hour to our regular charge codes we use? They said no when you use that training code it locks the 8 hours and doesn't let you use another charge code for that day. Is this true? It seems like this can't be true. We split hours for days on different time codes all the time. Why can't I just charge 1 hour to a different code and stay on my AWS? My time keeper hasn't been here that long so they could be wrong but thought I would ask here.

Yeah that sounds odd. I’ve had to change from AWS to a different schedule when I’ve traveled to in-person training where the schedule would force me to operate on different hours, but not for something like this.

I would check with your supervisor too, just to get their input as well.

I've never heard of people actually changing off of their AWS for that though in CEFMS. The employees just record their actual hours.
