Directions for the New Electronic Timesheet

The Computer Science & Engineering Department will be using a new electronic timesheet. The timesheet is an Excel document that can be downloaded from the cs forms page and saved in the user's home directory. It needs to be filled out, printed, signed in pen, and turned in to their supervisor. The supervisor will verify hours, sign, and turn in the timesheet to the department payroll area.

We are on a bi-weekly payroll with our pay days every other Wednesday. Timesheets must be turned in by the supervisor by the due date. If a timesheet is turned in late and misses the deadline, the hours will be paid on the next pay period. Note any items corrected/changed must be initialed by the supervisor. If any timesheet is not complete, or signed in pencil, the timesheet will be returned to the employee for corrections.

Please refer to Timesheet Instructions and Information for All Hourly Employees (pdf) for a complete list of the rules and regulations, for the Computer Science & Engineering Department’s hourly appointments and their corresponding timesheet process.

   Rules
   
   
   • When you enter the "In and Out" times, you need to use military time in the format HH:MM.
   • Make sure you have an "Out" time for every "In" time. There are 2 extra "In Out" columns for each work day to track times when you leave and come back later in the day.
   • The total hours for the day, week and pay period will be calculated by the form and cannot be changed.
     The formula used for the daily total is as follows:
     
     • For each time given, convert the time in minutes to decimal format. See the tenths of an hour breakdown chart above.
     • Take the (Out time - In time) for each column in the row.
     • Add the hours and put the total in the total column for that day
       • The hours in the "Total" column for week 1 will be added together and stored in the Week 1 hours field.
       • The hours in the "Total" column for week 2 will be added together and stored in the Week 2 hours field.
       • The Week 1 hours will be added to the Week 2 hours field and stored in the "Total Hours Worked for Pay Period" field.
6. When you’ve filled out the form, print it, sign it in pen, and turn it in to your supervisor.
