Overview

The Time and Attendance (T&A) functions break down into those that are inherently governmental and those that are not. Functions that are inherently governmental must be performed by a government employee or a Personal Services Contractor (PSC), while functions that are not inherently governmental may be performed by a government employee, a PSC, or a contractor. When a contractor performs T&A functions, the Privacy Act requires that the Agency apply the requirements of the Act to the contractor and its employees working on the contract.
