General Information

State and federal laws require the University to keep accurate records of time worked by all non-exempt employees. Our time keeping system works not only to assure we comply with the law, but also to assure that employees are paid in full for all the time they have actually worked. The approved time record is used to compute earnings on the basis of hours worked.

Non-exempt employees must accurately record the time they begin and end their work, in addition to any departure from work for any non-business reasons. Overtime work must always be approved before it is performed. All timesheets must be approved and turned in by 10 a.m. the Monday following the end of the pay period. Timesheets turned in late will be paid the Monday following the normal pay day. Employees should see their supervisor for accurate time reporting instructions.

Altering, falsifying, tampering with time records, or recording time on another employee's time record/sheet may result in corrective action, up to and including termination of employment.
