worked each day. After being approved by your supervisor,
the information is recorded into a database. There are
26 pay periods a year. Your first payday will be 10
days after the close of the pay period in which you
start work.
For METI employees:
You will log in via the Internet into the METI timesheet
system, detailing the time you work each day. At the

cubicle (for FEDEX, DHL and Courier) or in the mail
