Once reviewed by Timekeeping, your claim will show as "Normal" under the "status". To view this go to CMTS>Timekeeping>Timeslip Inquiry. A claim that is "normalized" will either be paid or denied. If your time claim is denied, you need to submit it to your Local Chairman as soon as possible. Time claim boxes are at both North Yard and 36th Street and are checked regularly.
Submitting a time claim to your Local Chairman.
