All timesheet users/approvers should ensure they have submitted/approved their time sheets by the department deadline. Due to the two-stage authorisation process, this allows Finance enough time to complete final approval of the large volume of timesheets received at month end by the payroll deadline.
If employees have any concerns they should check with their line manager or their Faculty/School Finance Office for confirmation of their department’s deadline.
Timesheets submitted after the department deadline are unlikely to be fully approved for the payroll deadline and will automatically go through for payment in the following month.
