Timesheets and Leave Reports
Banner Self Service Web Time Entry and Approvals Documentation
For information as it relates to entering time worked on timesheets, entering time off on leave reports, and approving timesheets and leave reports.
If the employee does not submit their electronic timesheet by the Monday deadline of a payroll week, the employee will need to visit the Office of Human Resources to pick up a paper time sheet. The employee will fill in the hours and take it to their Supervisor for approval. The Supervisor must physically return the time sheet back to Human Resources.
Please note that late timesheets need to be submitted to Payroll by Thursday of a timesheet due week. If paper timesheets are received after Thursday, they will not be paid until the next pay period. Our official means of time entry is BannerWeb.
Timesheet Helpful Hints
A work week at Alfred University runs from Sunday-Saturday.
Overtime is paid at time and a half for any hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a work week.
Earning Codes It should be noted that when using accrued leave on your timesheet, the hours entered for the leave should not exceed the normal hours a day an employee is scheduled to work.- Worked - only true worked hours entered
- Vacation - only vacation hours recorded in half or full day increments
- Sick - only sick hours recorded in hour increments as necessary
- Family Sick - AU designates 5 days per calendar year (January-December) for you to use to assist an ill/injured immediate family member. There are also 5 additional days that are designated as Family Emergency sick leave to attend to an emergency medical situation which requires the employee’s presence at home to arrange for care of an ill family member, or at the hospital while the family member undergoes surgery or is hospitalized with a serious illness. This leave comes out of your sick bank but should be coded as family sick for tracking purposes.
- Floating Holiday & Personal Day - can be used in 1 hour increments (Non-Statutory employees accrue time in January and must use time by the end of December) (Statutory employees accrue time on their Anniversary date and must use the time by their next Anniversary date)
- Excused - should only be used to enter bereavement leave, weather related days where the University closes, jury duty, court or other legal hearings, or the 1/2 day of religious holiday. When an employee enters excused hours there should always be a comment made in the comments section in regards to what the excused time was used for.
- Holiday - should only be used when the University is closed for a designated Holiday as listed above on the Holiday Schedule.
- FMLA - this field will only be used if you are out on approved FMLA leave. HR will be completing your timesheet for you while on leave.
- Paid Leave Day - this field will only be used for Non-Statutory temporary employees with a one year appointment who receive 10 Benefit Days.
