The MU Campus is moving forward on improving the process for recording and reporting hours worked and paid leave. The goals include eliminating paper-intensive processes, expediting leave time reporting, and eliminating areas where double data entry occurs.
Several options are available to departments for electronically recording hours worked. The MU Libraries will utilize the electronic time sheet method. Will this change how staff record time? Not really. Non-exempt employees will continue to enter their hours online and exempt employees will access an online ‘Monthly Absence Summary’ form. The change will be the next step – instead of printing out the time sheet or Summary form for signatures, they will be reviewed online by supervisors, corrections made if needed, and then sent on to Payroll for processing. The campus will provide training to supervisors, managers, fiscal officers, and HR staff regarding their role in the process and I’ll pass along dates/times/locations when that information is made available.The current, targeted implementation date for the new time processing method is sometime in 2009. I’ll keep you posted on developments.
