Submit time for approval

After completing your timesheet, you must submit it for approval. Before submitting, be sure that you have accounted for all time worked.

1. Check the Timesheet Total at the top of the screen to make sure the appropriate number of hours is reflected for the current pay period.
2. Select the SUBMIT button.
3. Select OK in the Confirm Timesheet Submission box. A notification will appear briefly at the top of your screen to confirm the timesheet was submitted successfully.

A gold circle will display in the upper corner of each time block indicating that you have submitted the timesheet for approval. After your manager approves your timesheet, the indicator changes to a green circle with a white checkmark. 

Check your leave balance 

To check your leave balance for each time reporting code (Holiday, Sick, Personal, etc.): 

1. Select LEAVE BALANCE at the top of the TIMESHEETS page. Each leave code you have used at TU displays in a tile with the number of hours accrued at the top. Days of accrued leave and Leave Used YTD are also displayed. 
2. For an in-depth report, select View Accrual History at the bottom of the tile. A detailed report of the past year will open.
3. Select the BACK button at the top of the page to return to Leave Balances.

Enter leave from a Leave Balance tile

From the Leave Balance page, you may enter time directly in any Leave Balance tile for the current pay period.

2. Enter the START DATE, END DATE and QUANTITY of hours for each day — not the total hours.
3. Select SAVE to return to your TIMESHEETS page. The newly entered leave time will be visible under the appropriate date.
