- Follow-up with supervisors regarding time off requests still in submitted status
- Follow-up with employees and supervisors if a salaried non-exempt employee has not met their weekly standard hours either through time worked or time off requested
- For salaried non-exempt employees who have less than a 37.5 hour work week, ensure straight time pay is issued for any hours worked over standard hours. For example, if an employee has a 30 hour work week and works 32 hours, they must be compensated for the 2 additional hours.
- At the end of the pay period:
- Monitor timecards to ensure supervisors have approved timecards by 4:30 pm on either the 1st or the 16th for the prior pay period
- At the end of the pay period, sign-off on the department or division timecards. Adhere to either your budget center deadline, which may be in advance of the Payroll Operations calendar deadline. Sign-off indicates due diligence has been taken to ensure missed punches and unexcused absences have been addressed and there are no pending time off requests.
