Time Entry

I am on a Gradual Return to Work or Part Time Accommodation, how do I enter my time?

Individuals who are gradually returning to work or a part-time accommodation, enter the hours they work as regular time and the hours they were away from the workplace as either sick leave or CODE.

Examples of time entries may include the following:

  1. 4 hours regular time 3.5 hours SG1 or SG 2
  2. Monday to Thursday regular time and 7.5 hours SG1 or SG 2 on Friday

If you are wondering if you fit into these situations, please check with your supervisor.

If I am on leave without pay, can I enter a Vacation Leave Payout in Timesheet?

No. When you are on extended leave without pay, your record is inactive so any timesheet entries that are entered and approved will not automatically process to pay.  See steps outlined below:

 

I have an alarm symbol on my timesheet beside my reported hours; what should I do?

This symbol indicates that there is an issue, or exception, with the reported hours.  Send an email to the HR HelpDesk for resolution.  Ensure you include your Employee ID, record number, and the dates and codes of the entries.

How do I know who my time approver is?

Navigate to your Self-Service timesheet and find your entry.  To the right of the ‘Reported Status’ column is an Approval Monitor link.  Click it.  The Approval Monitor shows who the approver is. It also shows when the hours were approved by the approver.

Time Reporting Codes- what does 4U/6U/8E/8U mean?

I want to enter some time into People Soft however my codes for sick, vacation and regular say '6U' instead of '8U'. What does this mean?

Where can I find information on Duty Travel?

Information related to duty travel can be found by accessing the following documents:

My entry has been denied. 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.

Exception Time Reporters:

How far back can I go as an employee or approver to change time/leave entered?

Corrections/changes to time entered in self-service can be done by an employee to future dated time, current period time, and as far back as one pay period.

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

If I work on a stat, do I need to enter my Stat hours somehow?

You have to enter your Stat hours ONLY if you regularly have to enter them to be paid for the stat. Otherwise, just enter the hours worked and the overtime code or the lieu time earned code.
