         Dear Sir:

              We have made a review of civilian pay,  including the propriety
         of salary rates and the effectiveness of  the time and attendance pro-
         cedures and controls at Hamilton Air Force Base.   This review,which
         was completed September 19, 1969, was made pursuant  to the Budget and
         Accounting Act, of 1921 (31 U.S.C. 53) and the Accounting  and Auditing
         Act of 1950 (31 U.S.C. 67).

              Our review of salary rates disclosed no significant errors;  how-
         ever, we found that Hamilton Air Force Base did not have standard
         operating procedures for recording time and attendance.  As a  result
         employees responsible for this phase of civilian pay did not have
         written guidelines to assure that time and attendance was accurately
         recorded and reported, and we found a lack of consistency in timekeeping
         procedures.  We believe the following instances illustrate the need for
         such standard operating procedures.

              1.  While most timekeepers took the time and attendance during
         the first half hour of the shift, we noted that one timekeeper took
         the roll at varying times during the day, sometimes in the morning and
         at other times in the afternoon.  La no instance did we note the record-
         ing of tardiness or early departurp.

              2.  One supervisor certified time and attendance records before
         the end of the pay period.

              3.  One timekeeper incorrectly reported the time of a wage board
         employee over a period of years.  We vwere informed that sih2e at least
         1961, this wage board employe  has been working a regular but uncomon
         shift.  Although he worked 48 hours first shift (7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)
