  • If you are a designated proxy, you are NOT authorized to approve your own timesheet.
  • Timesheets cannot be approved PRIOR to the pay period end date.  If you submit your timesheet early due to vacation, sick leave, etc., it cannot be APPROVED before the pay period end date.
  • All time sheets must be submitted on a bi-weekly basis.  

Employees who are found in violation may be subject to sanctions by the University.
