6. What does the pay period on my check mean?

Pay periods only apply to overtime, additional work, and substitutes. 

7. Do I have to fill out timesheets?

Certain employees performing additional duties such as 21st Century, summer work, & miscellaneous work must submit a timesheet indicating the number of hours worked on each day for the pay period. All payroll activity beings at the school/department level. Each school/department is responsible for obtaining all required documentation and signatures for timesheets, and for maintaining time entries. Both the employee and supervisor must sign and date the timesheet and turn it in to payroll with the appropriate cover sheet. Only accurately filled out timesheets will be processed if submitted by the deadline.

Be sure to include full legal name (clearly print), employee ID, correct calculations, and clearly print dates. Do not fill out the timesheet in advance of the last day worked in the pay period.
