Input Time Worked in Self-Service Time Entry

Hourly employees need to enter their start and end time for each work day to be paid appropriately. The two week pay period begins on Sunday at 12:00 am and ends 14 days later on Saturday at 11:59 pm. All employee time must be entered by 9:00 am on the Monday after the end of the pay period, and supervisors must approve time entered by 12:00 noon on the Monday after the end of the pay period.
