How many hours can I work as a Grader?

How do I report my time (i.e. hours worked)?

For example, a student who is eligible to grade 8 hours/week graded on Tuesday, 3/14/24, from 11am-3pm & Wednesday, 3/15/24, from 1pm-4pm. In this scenario, this grader will be able to start grading the next 8 hours/week on Monday, 3/20/24.
