3 How do I get to e-timesheet? How should time be entered on the timesheet? From a web browser enter the following web address: Time may be entered using the following format: 8 (8:00 am) 801 (8:01 am) 12 (12:00 am) 12p (12:00 pm) 108p (1:08 pm) The system defaults to AM unless you indicate PM. You may also use military time to record hours: 13 (1:00 pm) 1325 (1:25pm) Should I enter actual or rounded time? Does the Timesheet Due Date mean I need to have all my time recorded and submitted to my preferred approver by this time? What do you mean by the Preferred Approver? What are the different statuses that might be listed on my timesheet? You should enter actual time. The system with automatically round your time to the quarter hour if needed. Yes, there are two steps that must be completed before your time is approved. 1. You must enter and submit your time 2. The Preferred Approver must review and approve your time. This is the Department responsible person that approves timesheets. This approver will approve or reject your timesheet. Each department may assign several approvers. In the event your preferred approver is unavailable, talk to your manager about a substitute approver. The timesheet can have one of the following statuses: New this is a brand new timesheet that has not been saved. Saved Timesheet has been saved but not submitted.

4 Will my information be saved as it is entered? Why must the differentials agree with the total hours worked? Where do I find the earnings distribution on the timesheet? My supervisor is out and I have already submitted my timesheet. What do I do? Why do I not have a leave section on my e-timesheet? No, you should always save your timesheet after entry. Hours at Work and Shift hours must agree in order for your timesheet to successfully submit to your Preferred Approver. The hours must agree so the HR system can properly pay your hours at work. To view your standard earnings distributions, you will need to click the box beside View Distribution. You may contact another Preferred Approver to request they approve your timesheet. Leave Section is only displayed if you are eligible to take leave in the HR system. If you believe you eligible for leave, you will need to contact your Department Responsible person for assistance Version 1.2 as of 10/29/2014 Page 2 of 4

5 How are the hours calculated on the online timesheet? For the START/END time of the day, the number of hours worked are rounded to the quarter of an hour. Actual meal time is deducted from the total hours worked. Zone Clock Minute Range Rounding Increment 1 53 to to to to Calculation of hours worked: 1. Find the first START and last END time of your day to a number rounding to the quarter hour increment. 2. The system calculates hours for the day and converts to minutes 3. Then actual meal time is subtracted from the minutes worked. 4. Divide total minutes by 60 to get hours worked per day Example 1 no meal: START time is 8:37am rounds to 8:30am END time for the day is 10:57am Rounds to 11:00 Paid time = 2.50 hours Example 2 with meal: START time is 8:37am rounds to 8:30am END for starting meal is 10:57am (meal time does not round) START back from meal is 11:57am (meal time does not round) END time for day is 4:57pm rounds to 5:00pm Hours Calculation: 8:30am 5:00pm 8 hours 30 minute or 510 minutes 510 minutes less 60 minutes for meal = 450 minutes 450 minutes/60 = 7.50 hours worked Version 1.2 as of 10/29/2014 Page 3 of 4
