Select Employee and then Time Approval to access your pending time sheets.
- Student timecards for the pay period are viewed weekly rather than by pay period. Which means that students will now have two timecards per pay period. Both will be due every other Monday following the Student Employment Payroll Calendar. If students only work one week of a pay period, they still need to submit both timecards. The unworked week should be submitted with zero hours.
- Supervisors will approve both timecards for the pay period even if one of the weeks has zero hours. No approval is needed if students do not work during the two-week pay period.
If you are unable to find an employee on your approval list in Self Service, please be sure to clear all filters. “Clear Search” under the Employee search and/or the “Reset Filters” under the Status.
If you are still unable to find the employee, please confirm with Human Resources you have submitted the proper documentation and the employee is clear to begin working.
