Only record the hours worked; breaks are generally not paid. Report partially worked hours per quarter: for a quarter, write 0.25; for half an hour, 0.50; and for three-quarters of an hour, 0.75. If you work overtime or irregular shifts, you often receive a surcharge on top of your hourly wage. You are responsible for keeping track of the number of hours worked and filling out the declaration correctly. Your intercedent can tell you how to do this. At the end of the week, have your declaration stamped and approved by your supervisor or head of the department where you work.
