FAQ’s
What if I don’t approve and submit my time sheet on time?
You may not be paid on a timely basis. Contact your supervisor for assistance. Your supervisor will work with you to ensure you are able to use time reporting effectively in the future. If your supervisor is not able to access your timesheet because the pay period has closed, your supervisor will request a manual timesheet from the Payroll Office.
Will I receive a reminder when my time sheet is due?
Yes! You will receive an e-mail reminder from the payroll office to assist you with timely reporting.
Why did my time sheet disappear from the selection screen?
You approved your time for the pay period. If you accidentally approve your time before the end of the pay period is complete you will need to contact your supervisor to reject your time sheet in order for you to complete the pay period.
What if I entered time incorrectly?
During the pay period you can correct time entered yourself.
After the pay period has closed and you have already approved your time you should contact your supervisor immediately for assistance. They will assist with correcting your time. If your supervisor has already approved and submitted your time they will need to contact the payroll office for assistance.
What if my supervisor is gone at the end of the payroll?
Each employee is assigned an alternate supervisor who can review and approve their time. Contact them directly if you do not receive confirmation that your time has been approved. If you do not have an alternate supervisor please contact the payroll office for assistance.
For Union Employees Only:
How do I report Call In (no return to campus)?
If you have been asked to call in but do not return to campus, report your time in and time out, as you would regular time.
How do I report Call Back (return to campus)?
If you are asked to return to campus, report your time in and your time out, as you would regular time. If you are called back for less than 2 hours, report the difference between your time worked and 2 hours as Other Time Hours and select Other Time Type Union Call Back. If you work more than 2 hours report only time in and time out.
- Example: I worked my regular 8 hour schedule. I was called back to campus that same day. I worked for 1 hour and returned home.
