To promote accountability and comply with the recent Legislative Audit finding that employees are not signing their timesheets, it is REQUIRED that all timesheets have EMPLOYEE and SUPERVISOR approvals. If all timesheets do not have EMPLOYEE and SUPERVISOR approvals, we will receive an unfavorable repeat audit finding. Both regular and contingent timesheets must be approved by 10 a.m. on the due date.
To assist you with approving your timesheets, we are launching a new automated method for sending timesheet approval emails. All employees will receive an email reminder one day prior to the timesheet due date. Supervisors who have not approved those timesheets will receive an email by noon on the timesheet due date. Employees (and their supervisor) with timesheets that are still not approved when the system is frozen will receive another email with instructions to print and submit a paper timesheet with the signatures of both the employee and supervisor to the Payroll Office. Contingent employees submitting paper timesheets will be paid in the next available payroll cycle. Regular employees submitting paper timesheets will have their pay adjusted, if applicable, on the next available payroll cycle.
Direct any questions about this change to the Financial Services help line at x4-5599, option 1 or email payroll@towson.edu.
The Payroll Office thanks you for your assistance in this time-sensitive matter.
