Only worked at two rv parks this past year and at the 2nd one, we were required to fill out a time card .. the biggest problem though was that there were two schedules, one for him and one for me. There was no coordination between the two schedules.
I vowed then never to work more than the required number of hours per week, no more working on future promises of time off in future in lieu of working now. Yep, never happened! We left, not because of the required time cards, but because too many hours required.
We worked for pay at a retreat center and filled out a time card for wages. This was a business and we were employees.

We have only been ask to use timecards or timesheets when we have worked for corporate parks. Private owned don't seem to use them.

We've been at two private parks so far and filled out time sheets at both. Since we work different hours sometimes we fill out separate sheets.It has not been a problem so far for us.

We have worked at both private parks and for Government run locations, at the private parks we get our FHU site for being eyes and ears around the park, we have no set hours or time required, but we get paid for every hour we do chores around the park(mowing/yard work and cleaning restrooms). So we fill out a time card there. At government locations such as NPS,NWR or NFS we have filled of a time sheet listing hour worked and jobs done because boss still has to justify money spent for workampers, and if you receive a stipend it may be from a Grant for specified work that they need to show has been completed according to the grant requirements.

Yes, most of our positions have had time cards. We don't mind and it helps employers to know who is doing what and how long it takes.
We have never been asked to do more than expected. In fact, we are constantly being told we do more than our share. That may be so, but that is the way we are.

I've filled out a time card on the last 3 jobs. It makes it easy for me and them - and even though they give me a schedule, the # of hours to do the work varies, and I get paid according to the actual hours I work (whether more or less).

We've used time cards at the last 4 jobs and never thought anything about it. Seems to me that it is a great way for the employer to keep track of their employee's hours. Keep track of how long it takes to do the job and any problems you run into.

We are at an RV dealershipand we clock in at 8 and out at 12 then in at 1 and out at 5. However, these people are so nice they don't mind if your a few minutes late or want to take an afternoon off just to do nothing. Great placeto work!

Our volunteer work at the county park in AZ, we do not use a time card. That is our park supervisors' decision, tho', because at a different park in the same county, the volunteers have to fill out a time card. We are currently at a State Park in CA and have to fill out a form tracking our hours and what we do.
