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.
Timecards Due
The final day in the pay period you may enter your time into the timekeeping system.
Approval Due
The date on which the timekeeper must approve employees' time sheets no later than 9:00 p.m. that day.
