TIME Updates, FAQs, and Tips
The TIME implementation is nearly complete on the Bloomington campus. Excluding a handful of departments that are still working on meeting the 12/31/2008 deadline, Bloomington departments have 95% of Hourly and Biweekly Staff appointments configured to use TIME. The other 5% are mostly hourly jobs and may not be active. If you need a list of employees who are not on TIME in your department, please send me an email. Three other campuses are implementing TIME this month: IU Kokomo, IU East, and IU Northwest. Rollout of TIME continues on the IUPUI, IU Southeast, and IU South Bend campuses. Please contact the payroll office on your campus with questions about TIME for your specific department.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why do I have to approve timesheets with no hours worked in my area?
A: Any timesheet that routes to you must be approved. Seeing zero hours may alert you to a problem if you know the employee has worked for you this pay period. It also may remind you that an inactive employee should be terminated. For employees with multiple jobs, a missed approval in your department will hold up the approval process of the other departments. Please approve all timesheets in a timely manner.
Q: As a payroll processor, how do I know which timesheets are still unapproved by supervisors?
A: Go to Administrative Systems > TIME > Find Timesheets to open Workflow Document Search and fill in the following fields (click Detailed Search if you do not see all of these fields):
- Department (all caps: UA-FMOP)
- Work Area (optional))
- Document Route Status = Enroute)
- Document Route Node = Supervisor)
- NOTE: no dates are used (or needed) in this search
Tips
- To save a Workflow Document Search, type something into the “Name this search (optional)” textbox and then click search. The search will now be available in the “Searches” dropdown box at the top of the Document Search screen.
- The biggest confusion with new hourly employees in a timesheet comes from them trying to ‘edit’ and add hours. Hourly employees should have no reason to click the ‘edit’ button and should be instructed to just use the clock action buttons at the top of the timesheet.
- The biggest confusion with Biweekly employees involves overtime. When an employee works beyond her regular schedule she wants to record 8 regular hours and the rest as overtime on that day. Employees should be instructed to just record time worked – the overtime will be calculated by the system once any hours over 40 are recorded for a week.
