LEO's TimeCentre -- Time Certification

Section Six:
Time Certification

Because Time Sheets cannot be changed by the Timekeeper after the scheduled deadline, Time Sheets should be reviewed by Employees and Supervisors as soon as possible following the end of a pay period. Contact TimeCentre at ext. 3801 for the Payroll Deadline Schedule.

Timekeepers should monitor certification and make any Supervisor approved changes to Time Sheets marked "not approved" by Employees or Supervisors as soon as possible (before the scheduled deadline) to ensure that paychecks are correct. Any errors discovered after the scheduled deadline must be corrected by Payroll. Payroll will make adjustments to Time Sheets only if they receive authorization in writing from the employee's Supervisor. Adjustment will be made in the next pay period.

Employees may certify Time Sheets at any point after the payroll period ends, and are encouraged to certify their Time Sheets by the scheduled deadline in case there is an error. Once the pay period ends, Supervisors should review employee Time Sheets as soon as possible to ensure that there are no discrepancies. Timekeepers cannot make any changes to Time Sheets after the scheduled deadline. Supervisors are encouraged, if possible, not to Signoff on Time Sheets until after the employee has certified approval. Timekeepers should monitor Employee Certification, and keep their Supervisor updated on which employees have approved or not approved their Time Sheet.

9-month Faculty, Graduate Assistants, Resident Assistants, and Lecturer Employees will certify a Work/Leave Report. Once these employees certify their Report, Supervisors will need to electronically Signoff on them in TimeCentre. Errors discovered after the scheduled deadline cannot be adjusted without notification in writing from the employee's Supervisor to Payroll.

Supervisors will also want to make sure all overtime is approved and designated correctly as Paid Overtime or Compensatory Time earned. If an employee works in more than one department: The Home Department Supervisor (who is responsible for electronically signing off the employee's Time Sheet), should print a copy of the employee's Time Sheet and fax it to all other department Supervisor(s) that the employee worked in. The other Supervisors must review the time and initial the time as correct (or note any errors), and fax it back to the employee's Home Department Supervisor. The Timekeeper attaches this to the employee's Exception Log for the pay period and keeps on file with the department's time records.
