Note: Pay for coaches on regional campuses is processed on a PT Admin contract in ICD. Workforce is used only to capture actual hours worked.
Accessing Timesheets
- Log in and click Approve Timesheets in the Time Entry box.
- Select the assignment group if applicable; otherwise, the approval table opens automatically.

- Click an employee鈥檚 name or ID to open their timesheet.
Reviewing Timesheets
- Choose List View or Table View and select Show All Weeks to display the full pay period.
- Check Exception messages for errors (e.g., "Missing Punch"). Red errors require correction before hours are approved.
- Employees or managers can add weekly or daily comments in the Comments field for explanation on an entry.
Making Corrections
- Employees should correct errors and resubmit their timesheets.
- Approvers may make corrections if employees cannot. Save changes and close the timesheet. Make sure to add a comment documenting the update.
Rejecting Timesheets
- Click Reject in the Mgr Apvd column to dispute an entry. A red X will appear, and the employee will be notified via email.
- Rejected timesheets are still processed but require approval.
Finalizing Approvals
- Approve timesheets with zero hours to lock them from editing.
- Approvals are due by 5:00 PM on the Tuesday after the biweekly pay period ends.
- If a timesheet lacks manager approval after the pay period is processed, print and sign it.
