For employees to be paid correctly, their payable time must be approved in a timely manner. During the course of a pay period, payable time is available for approval the next business day after the employee submits their timesheet.  

Biweekly Payroll 

The deadline for approving payable time for biweekly paid employees is two days after the pay period end date: 5 p.m. on Tuesday of a payroll processing* week. This is also two days before that payroll is finalized.  

*Payable time approvals are not allowed when active processing begins for the respective pay period. This usually includes two full business days before that payroll is finalized.


Monthly Payroll 

The deadline for approving payable time for monthly paid employees is two days before that payroll is finalized, which can fall on various days of the week. Please refer to your campus payroll office for the exact dates each month.

Time Clock Device FAQs

In most cases, an instructional picture on the wall next to the unit will suffice. You might want to have someone assist new employees clock in/clock out.

Yes, a person can clock in and out at different TCDs within their TCD group around campus. 

Yes, if an employee has multiple jobs, they would choose from a list of supervisor's last names. The TCD would display the supervisor's name prefixed with the respective employee record number as well as the job's hourly rate. 

Paid time off must be entered by a supervisor or timekeeper on the employee's behalf. 

Gracing setup is done for the entire department. Campus Administrators are responsible for setup. Find training materials about gracing on the PeopleSoft Training Guides webpage. 

Timekeepers set up auto meal deductions for employees who cannot punch out and back in for the meal. Training materials about gracing can be found on the PeopleSoft Training Guides webpage.

Only an employee set up in the custom Auto Meal Deduction page, and that works greater than five consecutive hours, will have the meal automatically deducted. 

In PeopleSoft, time clocks are grouped based on which campus they are located or which department on a campus uses them (e.g. St. Louis TCD group, Columbia Campus Facilities group, etc.). An employee will be able to use particular time clocks only if their Time Reporter record is associated with the respective TCD Group. 

A TCD Group gets assigned to a new Time Reporter via the nightly Time Reporter enrollment process. This can also be changed or manually entered by Campus Administrators under the Time Reporter Data link.
