Timesheet Change - Previous Time Periods
The Department of Human Resources has issued the following message on:
Wednesday, April 10, 2008
Effective April 1, 2008, the window for employees to make changes to prior pay periods has been shortened.
The Issue:
Previously, employees were able to go back up to 28 days prior to the current pay period to add, delete or change time or leave that needed approval by their supervisor. Supervisors didn't always know about the addition or change, and as a result, the time remained unapproved. This would affect the employee's leave balances and paychecheque.
The Solution:
Employees are now only able to go back 14 days (one prior pay period), to add, delete or change hours or leave. This will simplify approving time for supervisors and reduce the amount of unapproved time in the system.
Entering Time Further Back
You can contact the HR Helpdesk for assistance in making entries that go further back.
In addition, your supervisor, as Time Approver, is able to go back up to 28 days from the previous time period and make entries/changes on your behalf.
Important!
Because of this change (unless you have approved access) Timesheets from before the previous time period will be greyed out, and you will not be able to enter any hours. This is how you will know that you must have the Helpdesk or your Supervisor enter previous time for you.
Pay Schedules Online
You can find current pay period schedules online (note that pay periods for Casual employees are different than for Indeterminate (permanent) employees).
For example - if the current pay period for Indeterminate employees runs from March 29 - April 11, 2008. You will be able to go back to March 15th to make any changes or entries to your Timesheet.
