South Dakota Board of Regents Web Time Entry Student Training Manual & User s Guide
Web Time Entry Self Service Web Time Entry is a web-based time entry system designed to improve accuracy and eliminate loss or delays in paper processing of physical timesheets and leave requests. The Web Time Entry system will allow you to log into a secure website and enter the hours and leave online from any computer with access to the Internet. Your time and/or leave is then approved online by your supervisor and sent electronically to Payroll for processing. Timeframes and Deadlines In order to be paid each month, it is critical that you submit your timesheet by the deadline. You are responsible for submitting your electronic timesheets to your supervisor. Without a timesheet, the supervisor is unable to approve your time and/or leave and without the supervisor s or their proxy s approval, you will NOT be paid until the following pay period. The pay period for all institutions within the South Dakota Board of Regents is the 22 nd of the month through the 21 st of the following month. Timesheets must be submitted no later than 10 a.m. on the 22 nd of the month. If the 22 nd falls on a holiday or a weekend, you should submit them on the last working day before the 22 nd. The timesheets will be due by 10 a.m. on the 22 nd of the month, regardless of what day of the week the 22 nd fall on. On occasion there may be exceptions to the deadlines. Please check your NSU email frequently for any messages regarding payroll date changes. Pay day is the last working day of each month.
