Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Employee
Do I need to submit a timesheet?With only few exceptions, all employees must complete and submit timesheets, even if they are only required to enter time taken off (leave). Employees can enter their hours in Self-Service starting on the first day of the pay period. Don't wait until the last day to submit your timesheet! When timesheets are submitted, they are automatically routed to an Approver who either approves or returns it for correction. If you hold more than one position, you may be required to submit a timesheet for each position in each pay period. Check with your supervisor.

|||||||||
What should I do if I missed the deadline to submit/correct my timesheet?If the supervisor's approval deadline has passed and a change or correction to a web timesheet is needed, the supervisor needs to submit a corrected manual timesheet (pdf) along with a copy of any submitted web timesheet. At the bottom of the manual timesheet, explain why a manual is submitted. This explanation is critical for audit purposes. |
|||||||||
What if the timesheet deadlines have passed, and I can't see my timesheet?Employees won’t be able to make changes to the timesheet on approval day. In the event that the employee or approver sees an error on the timesheet, the approver is able to make corrections directly on the timesheet and approve those changes. Approvers should enter comments to support any changes made to the timesheet. If the approver has already approved the timesheet with errors, then the approver will be unable to make changes. Please let Payroll know what changes are needed by sending an email to [[payofc]]. Payroll may be able to correct the timesheet on payroll processing day; if not, Payroll will offer guidance on how to make corrections on a manual timesheet (pdf). As a reminder to approvers, exempt employees do not have to submit a timesheet unless they are recording leave. |
Timesheet Approver or Proxy
What are my responsibilities and how do I set up a proxy?
|
||||||||||
Can someone else approve on my behalf?Yes, you can set up a timesheet approver proxy if you will not be available. You must communicate to your proxy which pay periods to approve. A proxy should never be a direct report because the direct report would then be able to approve his or her own timesheet. Ideally, your proxy should be someone who is in the same organization and has knowledge of the hours that the employees record. This also ensures Banner security is maintained properly. As a rule of thumb, whenever there has been a change to your org, such as employee terminations/transfers or reorganization, it is a good idea to review your proxies. |
||||||||||
What is the Pay Period dropdown menu?The Pay Period date is preceded by a Pay ID (SW, HW, SV, or HV). If you have both hourly and salaried staff timesheets to approve, be sure to switch the dropdown selection in order to approve timesheets for both types of employees.
