When must employees report for duty?

• A. At the required time
• B. Immediately before shift
• C. When called by supervisor
• D. By the end of the day

Answer: (A)

Report for duty at the required time. This is the standard you must meet so you’re ready to start work, receive any pre-shift briefings or safety checks, and begin duties as scheduled. Being present at the assigned time ensures the crew can coordinate and operations run smoothly from the start.

Waiting until immediately before the shift might not give enough time for necessary preparations or briefings. Waiting to be called by a supervisor can leave you off schedule and disrupt operations. Reporting by the end of the day misses the point entirely, since the shift start time is the benchmark for readiness.
