Pay periods, time cards & electronic time entry

There are two pay periods each month:
The 1st through the 15th
The 16th through the last day of the month.

COMPLETED paper time cards for a period are due to me TWO business days before the last day of that time period. For example, a time card covering the May 1-15 would be due to me on May 13.

NEVER put time from more than one time period on a time card.

A COMPLETED time card must have your name, CougarID or SSN, days & hours worked, ACCOUNT NUMBER, pay rate, total hours, total pay and your signature. Incomplete time cards are likely to be returned to you for correction. This may result in a delay of your pay until the next time period, so check each time card for accuracy!

Electronic time entry (also called WTE, or Web Time Entry) is done through CougarWeb. If you enter time in this way, you will need to enter your time for a given time period NO LATER than midnight on the day after the period ends. For example, time entry covering May 1-16 could be entered no later than May 16.

I strongly recommend not waiting that long, however. If you wait until May 16 and your web connection is down, or CougarWeb is down for some reason, your pay will be delayed until the next time period, and there's nothing I can do about it.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
