Helpful Tips for Submitting Payroll

If the time sheet or leave of absence report is being sent through campus mail, please email it to the Human Resources Specialist first.
Please refer to the Payroll Schedule to determine when time sheets or leave of absence reports are due.
Remember, payroll is always due before noon on the due date.

Types of Payroll

Hourly – Non-benefited employees are on hourly payroll. Hourly payroll should be turned in with Summary sheet to Human Resources.
Monthly – Benefited employees are on monthly payroll. Monthly payroll should be turned into Human Resources.
Student - Students hired through the BulldogJobBoard are on Student Payroll. Student workers are also limited to 20 hours per week. Student payroll should be completed under Self-Service on their Single Sign-On.

Leave of Absence Reports (LOAR)
- Departments with only one employee on the LOAR – only the cover sheet is required when no leave is taken. If leave is taken, only the LOAR is required. It is not necessary to complete both forms each time.
- Departments with multiple employees – only the cover sheet is needed when no one in the department takes leave for the month. Only the employees who take leave need to submit a LOAR.
- HR can accept scanned copies of LOARs. Please make sure the leave of absence reports are signed before sending them to HR.
- LOARs need to have the employee ID number next to the name.
- HR does not need faculty absence forms.
Time Sheets
- Understanding Your Time Sheet
- Employee and Supervisor signatures are required.
- The original documents needs to be turned into Human Resources for hourly and monthly payroll.

If the employee has multiple positions, there will be a different place to enter time for each department.
If the employee does not work during the week, please have them submit 0 hours for the week.
If a supervisor or employee enters a comment, the comment button will turn blue.
There is a very small window of entering time on the day payroll is due. Please be sure to enter time by 10:00 am. HR/Payroll will not be able to access it after the deadline.

If the employee is working in more than one department, the supervisor will be able to review the time entered for every department. They will only be able to approve/reject the time for their own department.
HR has set up proxy supervisors in case the primary supervisor is unable to approve time. If the proxy supervisor needs to change, HR will need it in writing before we are able to make the change.
Please do not approve the whole month at one time. You must click on and approve each week.
