Payroll & Time Sheets
Time Sheets
Time sheets are due at the end of every work week. Once a time sheet is submitted, it must be approved by the direct supervisor before you can submit for the following week.
Each week must be submitted individually; the payroll system will not allow you to submit multiple time sheets at the same time. If you do not work in a given week, you must still submit a time sheet with zero hours in order to submit for the following week.
Students working off-campus under federal work-study community service submit electronic time sheets the same way as if they work on-campus. Once submitted, the off-campus supervisor receives a link to approve the time sheet.
You will be paid on the business day closest to the fifteenth and last of each month. NOTE: Payroll processes checks 2.5 weeks behind. Your first check may take up to one month to process.
Remember:
- You can only submit for up to eight hours of work per day.
- If you work more than six hours in a day, you must also submit a 30-minute unpaid break.
- You cannot work more than 20 hours per week while school is in session.
- You must submit your time sheet every week.
- You will be paid on the business day closest to the fifteenth and last day of each month.
