Time Stamping. Permanent Intermittent (hourly) employees must time stamp in and out as they begin and end their work shifts and take meal periods.

Time Stamping. The Romanian President promulgated the time-stamping law which officially took effect on the first week of December, 2004 and was published in the Official Monitor Gazette.
