Companies have rules about how to do this. If you are approved for overtime, then you should record your actual time of course in order to get paid for the time.
However, some companies say to record only your first 8 hours of each day, others say to record only the first 40 hours of the week, etc.
You really should ask your supervisor and/or boss, and if you need, timekeeping group, at your place of employment. We don’t want you to get fired for doing your time card wrong.
As an aside, I hope you are leaving enough time in your day to relax and spend with friends and family. But, that’s a different matter. :-)
If you are required to work 40 hours a week, then put 40 on your time-sheet. It doesn’t matter if you worked 50 or 60 hours, you are salaried so you get paid the same no matter what.
