Time Report Form

This procedure will apply to all non-exempt employees, student assistants, and students under the College Work Study Program.

1. Time Report Form Issuance

The time report forms are issued by the Personnel Office. New employees are given time report forms upon receipt of the appointment form for temporary employees and students, and the completion of employment data for new regular employees. Continuing employees will receive pre-printed time report forms with their payroll checks. These time report forms cannot be used except for the employee so named on the time report form. 2. Utilization of Time Report Forms As work is performed, the time is recorded on the time report forms. This includes time work began, and time out when leaving work for the day. The time periods other than work time are to be maintained on the time report form, along with the proper code. The time report form is to be completed when actions that require entries on the time report form occur. The supervisor will indicate the location for the time report form(s). 3. Preparation of Time Report Forms for Payroll The daily number of hours worked or other types of pay should be maintained daily. The end of the week will require the totals for the week to be placed on the time report form. These totals are in hours and minutes. The card should be signed by the employee and the supervisor. The supervisor is verifying the accuracy of all information contained thereon. If either the employee or supervisor cannot sign the time report form, call the Business Service Office for instructions. 4. Submission of Time report forms Time report forms are submitted to the Business Office by noon on Monday following Friday end of the week. Exception: Cards for students on the College Work Study Program are to be submitted to the Financial Aid Office according to the schedule published by that office. Time report forms not issued by the Personnel Office have no assurance that the employee, student assistant or College Work Study student is in our personnel/payroll system; therefore, though the time report form is timely received, the check may not be issued. All persons must be in the personnel/payroll system before a check can be issued. 5. Conversion of Time The payroll system utilizes tenths of an hour. The Business Office will convert the weekly minutes to the appropriate tenths.
