“Submit” your timesheet for approval when all hours are entered for the entire two-week pay period. You will get a prompt, which asks you to re type your pin. This is your electronic signature—you certify that the hours you reported are correct.

This information will be completed once you have “Submitted” your timesheet.

You will see your name in the “Submitted for Approval By” box.
You will see your supervisor’s name in the “Waiting for Approval From:” box. Please pay close attention to make sure your supervisor’s name is in this box.
Once Payroll is complete, you will see your supervisor’s name in the “Approved By” box.

Timesheets should be completed every day you work. When completing your timesheet, record only the time that you actually worked. Many students will arrange their work schedule so that they leave work and go directly to their classes. For example, if the work schedule is for 8:00am—11:00am and you leave at 10:50 to go to an 11:00 o’clock class, you must record your time accurately and honestly as leaving at 10:50 (please use the conversion chart below). Be sure to submit your completed timesheet to your supervisor at the end of the pay period.

When you receive the student's email, please forward it to student payroll, and the hours will be manually entered.
