Local Agency Time Study

Policy: All WIC staff at the state agency and local agencies will maintain time logs/studies. Time Study reports are due by the 20th of the month following the period and are dependent on whether the Agency reports 1 week per month or 1 month per quarter.

Regulation: 7 CFR 246.17, USDA Memo 9/30/92—Addendum to WIC Program Annual Closeout Report

Procedure/Additional Guidance: The purpose of the time study is to document, through the use of staff time logs, the expenditure of at least 1/6 of Colorado WIC's administrative budget for nutrition education, the expenditure of allocated funds for breastfeeding promotion, and the amount of time spent providing client services and general administration.

 Scope of Study  All WIC staff at the state agency and local agencies will maintain time logs.

 Duration of Data Collected  At local agencies, staff will maintain daily time logs for one full work week (five days) per month or for one full month per quarter. State staff members are required to document daily time and effort. Therefore, costs for State staff will be based on actual time.

 Date Collection Instrument and Reporting  Time logs will be filled in by the worker after each activity. The activity axis will include listings of nutrition education, breastfeeding promotion, client services, and general administration activities performed by WIC staff. Local agencies will provide a report listing the percentage of time spent in each activity for each WIC staff with the Contract Reimbursement Statement.
