We keep track of both flight time and block time in the aircraft logbooks and the company will occasionally double check it.
Hope that clarifies a bit.
Err wtf?
You cannot legally schedule 8.2 hours of flight time (and yes, that includes taxiing etc) in 135 scheduled operations.
You need to check what "flight time" means in the FARs.
