Reporting Time for Hourly or Non-Exempt Employees

Last modified 7/24/2024

Keep In Mind When Submitting Your Time for Approval

  • Timesheets are due at the end of pay periods to give managers time to review and approve reported time
    • Pay periods end on the 15th and last day of each month
  • You can make as many changes to your timesheet as needed during the period
  • If changes are made to time that has already been approved, you must notify your manager so they can re-approve the altered time
    • You have up to 2 calendar days past the end of each pay period to make last- minute adjustments as an employee, then only your manager can make changes!

    Additional Tips:

    To Report/Submit multiple types of time (e.g., Sick, Vacation, FMLA) on your time sheet, click “+” (plus sign) to add a new blank row, if necessary.
