Reporting Positive Time

Time Reporting Codes (TRCs) are used to record both time entries or benefits usages on timesheets in iPeople. Employees must select a time reporting code for each type of hours worked or absence from work, including illness, vacation, holiday, etc.

What are Time Reporting Codes (TRC)?

Employee TRC Guide

A flex schedule is a mutual agreement between employee and supervisor to allow an employee whether exempt or hourly to work variable hours within a work week. Refer to Understanding Flex Schedules for Hourly Employees for more details.

Your supervisor has access to go back retroactively to previous pay periods. Benefit usages and hours worked must be reported on the timesheet for the pay period in which the hours actually occur, for both exempt and hourly employees. DO NOT lump all of the hours on the current timesheet; this can cause auditing issues.

Employees must always submit their hours worked within 2 (two) calendar days of the end of the pay period. Example:

If the pay period ends on Thursday, February 29 time is due by midnight on Saturday, March 2.

If the pay period ends on Friday, March 15 time is due by midnight on Sunday, March 17.

Hourly
If an hourly employee does not complete their timesheet and/or the supervisor does not approve the reported time by the deadline, then the employee may not be paid on the current pay cycle. Payroll will not automatically pick up the late-approved hours for processing on the current payroll.

Salaried
If a salaried employee fails to report their benefit time (hours spent away from work) by the deadline, then benefit balances will be incorrect. However, paychecks will not be negatively affected. Benefit balances will be adjusted after the completion of the following pay cycle.

You can view your Sick and Vacation balances by clicking on the "Leave Balances" link on your timesheet. Leave balances (Sick and Vacation) are updated after each pay cycle, usually 5-7 days after the end of each pay period.  If you are an hourly employee, you can check your Compensatory Time (Comp Time) balance by clicking the appropriate tab on your timesheet. Salaried employees do not accrue Comp Time. Comp Time balances are updated on a daily basis. Personal Plus Time balance are visible for both hourly and salaried employees on the corresponding tab.

How to Review Your Leave Balances

Direct deposit of your paycheck is optional, though recommended. Employees who wish to enroll in direct deposit will need to complete their payroll direct deposit election by completing the Direct Deposit form found on the Payroll website.

More information on using direct deposit can be found here: ISU Direct Deposit

Employees who do not wish to enroll in direct deposit will be issued a paper paycheck that will be mailed to the “mailing address” as specified by the employee. If an employee is unsure of their mailing address as provided to ISU, they should log into their “MyISU” account, review their data and make appropriate changes. Paper checks are mailed on payday. Employees should expect to receive the check within 5-7 business days of the payday.
