If you have multiple positions, it is important to enter time separately for each position as the time sheet is routed to the appropriate supervisor and the time entered is charged to that department’s budget. You will see both positions in the Pay Period week.
Separate timesheets if you have multiple positions
You will need to enter Time In and Time Out for each day worked.  For Time In and Time Out entry, you have two options. You may select your In and Out times from the pre-populated times in the drop-down list.  Click in any box to use the drop-down list.  You may also type your In and Out times if they are not available on the drop-down list. Please include AM or PM with your time (i.e. 8:23 AM, 12:47 PM, 3:15 PM). You are required by law to report actual time worked.
Your supervisor may review your time entry at any point during the pay period. Please enter your Time In as soon as you arrive and Time Out at the end of each day, prior to leaving the office or work area.
 Enter time in and time out
Remember to enter your Time In and Time Out for unpaid meal breaks. When you are scheduled to work 7.5 continuous hours or more, you must take a 30-minute, unpaid meal break. The 30-minute, unpaid meal break must be taken no later than 5 hours after beginning work.
Click the + to add additional time or the to delete time if needed. See image below.
If you did not work, please leave the field blank for the corresponding date.

The system will typically save your work as you enter it. However, if needed, you can save your electronic time card by clicking the Save button.
Repeat each step to enter time daily until your time for the pay period is complete.

When you are ready to submit your weekly time card to your supervisor for time approval, please select the Submit for Approval button. When you click the Submit for Approval option, this becomes your electronic signature acknowledging your submitted time is accurate and ready for supervisor approval. 
An email will automatically be sent to your supervisor indicating that your time is ready to be reviewed and approved. Once you have submitted your time for approval, it can be modified only by your supervisor or the Payroll Department.  
It is you and your supervisor’s responsibility to ensure time entry is reported accurately according to the law and that the time sheet is signed and approved by the due date established by the Payroll Office. Manual checks will not be issued for late time sheets.
