Bi-Weekly Payroll Calendar
Hourly Temporary Employees and all Student Employees (both hourly and flat rate) are paid on a bi-weekly cycle. The Bi-Weekly Payroll Calendar shows the start and end of each bi-weekly work period and the corresponding pay date.
The Bi-Weekly Payroll Calendar also shows the cut-off deadline for submission of hourly employees Web Time Entry (WTE) timesheets and the cut-off deadline for supervisor approvals.
The timesheet submission deadline for employees is midnight on the last day of the bi-weekly pay period. The approval deadline for supervisors is 5 PM on the Tuesday after the bi-weekly pay period has closed.聽Note: online timesheet entry due dates and cut-offs may be adjusted for holidays (please consult the calendar).
Hourly employees must open and submit their online timesheets聽prior to midnight聽on the final day of the work period. Otherwise, they will be locked out and will have to submit a 鈥渓ate鈥 paper timesheet in order to receive payment.
Tip: Set up a 鈥渢ickler鈥 in Google聽calendar to remind you of important deadlines!
Setting up a Google calendar reminder
We recommend that each hourly employee and their supervisors create a 鈥渢ickler鈥 on their Google calendar so that they automatically receive an email every other week reminding them of payroll deadlines.
For example, if you want an email prompt to remind you to submit your timesheet to your supervisor every other Monday, follow these procedures:
- When in Google Mail, click on聽鈥楥alendar鈥
- Click on the first day & time you want the email to show up
- In the 鈥楢dd title鈥 box, type in聽Submit timesheet (or Approve timesheets)
- Click on 鈥楳ore Options鈥
- Click on the 鈥楧oes not repeat鈥 dropdown menu and select: Custom > Repeat every 2 weeks
- Click on 鈥楧one鈥
- Click on 鈥楽ave鈥
