Instructions for Time Entry and Reviewing your Timecard

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.  

  • Most departments have designated the telephone for time entry although a few departments do utilize PC time entry to collect the time worked, assuring that non-exempt employees are properly compensated for all hours worked in a timely manner.
  • See your department manager for the device you are to use for recording hours worked.
  • Telephone Clocking Instruction Videos
  • Kronos Rounding Rules
