member_timesheet
Members should complete and turn in timesheets bi-weekly. The members change the dates in the drop-down menu under ("Period"). All the members have the time sheets and other forms saved on their thumb drives. At the end of the week their supervisor signs their timesheet and they turn the timesheets in on Fridays.

sp-member_time_log
This form was created so that the members would know how many hours they have completed, where their hours should be, and the hours remaining.

amc-member_time_log
Time Log was created in place of WBRS to record the members time from the timesheet they turned in. It is used to keep track of their time individually, monthly, and yearly. If you scroll to the end or use the various tabs you can see how to keep track.

absence_form
The members have this form downloaded onto their thumb drive so that when and if they're absent, they can complete it.

amc-absence_tracker
This form is used to track the member's absences monthly when they turn in their absence form.
