Staff: Reporting Time Worked, Correcting Timesheet Entries, and Viewing Timesheet Entries
This article covers how hourly employees can report their time worked on their campus timesheet, correct entries on their timesheet, and view their timesheet entries.
Only hourly employees should use the timesheet to report time worked. Salaried employees should only use the timesheet to report additional time reporting options such as ADO, CTO, etc.
Hourly intermittent employees must not enter hours in the timesheet for campus holidays. Payroll will calculate the hours and add them to the timesheet.
Are you a student employee? View STUDENTS: Accessing, Submitting, and Correcting Timesheets for more information on reporting your time worked.
If you get an error, you can review Common Error Messages with Timesheets to learn more about the error and how to fix it.
