Timekeeping & Leave Policies

Timekeeping and leave policies and procedures vary depending on whether your position is categorized as 'non-exempt' or 'exempt.' Requirements for each type of position are outlined in our hiring policies. For questions about the categorization of your position, you should contact AREF Human Resources, or your supervisor.

AREF uses ADP Workforce Now for timekeeping and leave requests. Your username and password are assigned by ADP during the first-time registration process.

Access the ADP Workforce Now Timekeeping System

  1. Visit the ADP Workforce Now Login page.
  2. Your User Name is the first letter of your first name, followed by your complete last name, then "@aref". The username is not case-sensitive. For example, if your name is Jane Smith, enter: jsmith@aref.
  3. Your Password was originally provided by ADP via email. Contact Human Resources if you have forgotten and need your password reset.

Non-Exempt Employees
Daily timekeeping is only necessary for non-exempt employees. Additionally, non-exempt employees must enter leave requests (vacation time, sick days, etc.) using the ADP Workforce Now product. At the end of each pay period (a calendar is located below), your supervisor reviews a log of your hours and submits your schedule to AREF HR for payroll processing. Supervisors also review and approve leave requests as they are submitted through this system.

Exempt Employees
Exempt employees are only required to enter leave requests (vacation time, sick days, etc.) using the ADP Workforce Now product. After you submit leave requests online, your supervisor will review and approve these requests. All exceptions to your regular schedule must be entered on or before the last day of each pay period (a calendar is located below).

Important information on ADI Timekeeping
ADI Timekeeping is no longer available to Employees, Supervisors and Timekeepers for timecard approvals and entry.
