Time Entry and Reviewing Time Card

The university is required by law to pay all non-exempt employees on an hourly basis, even though they have a standard schedule and normally work a standard number of hours. Non-exempt employees are required to clock in/out using the university’s Time Reporting System for both primary and secondary jobs. Clocking into the correct job is essential to being paid correctly.
