Time Approvals

I've received an email indicating I've been delegated approval access, but the employees aren't coming up. How can I see what's been delegated to me?

Once a delegation request has been sent by the regular approver, the request must be accepted in order for the approval access to become available. You can review the delegations you have made to others (Review My Proxies) or that have been made to you (Review My Delegated Authorities) at Self-Service > Manage Delegations.

The HRIS User Manual for Delegation can be found here.

How can I review mandatory leave taken for my employees?

On the "Leave Details and Employee Information Link", there is now a tab for Mandatory Leave Taken. It includes all fiscal year mandatory leave for the employee.

Approving time older than 28 days

 

When employees request to have old time (more than two pay periods in the past) entered on their behalf, time approvers are now required to approve that time.

How far back can I go as an approver?

Approvers can approve time farther back than two pay periods. To do so, they must approve on the 'Timesheet Summary'.

Corrections/changes/deletions to time entered in Self-Service can be done by a Time Approver to future dated time, current period time, and as far back as two pay periods for those employees for whom you approve time. Approvers can approve time farther back than two pay periods. To do so, they must approve on the 'Timesheet Summary'.

An employee requested Sick or Special leave, but has negative balances. Can I still approve?

PeopleSoft will allow employees to request leave based on the entitlements outlined in their applicable Collective Agreement or Handbook.

What happens if I approve after the cutoff date?

The time/leave will appear on the paycheque following the upcoming paycheque.

I have denied a request. Do I have to delete it? Do I have to enter something further?

Any time entries that are denied (overtime, shift premiums, etc.) will not be processed. Any leave requests that are denied will be automatically returned to the employee's leave balances. The request can then remain in your timesheet for future reference.

Positive Time Reporters:

If the entries are denied, whether it be regular, overtime, leave, etc, they will not process. Only entries that are approved will flow through to your pay check.
