Due to the upcoming winter holiday break and early file submissions to the Central Payroll Bureau, the Payroll and HRIS units are required to meet strict and compressed processing deadlines. As a result, the deadline for timesheet approvals has been impacted for the period ending 12/16/2023 (timesheets for pay period 2024-13).

Timesheet submissions and approvals for pay period 2024-13 (ending 12/16/2023) are due by 5 pm on Monday, December 18, 2023. Although timesheets may be submitted early, the approver may NOT approve the timesheet before the pay period has ended (not prior to December 17, 2023). 

Due to the extremely tight ETS approval deadline, timesheet approvers must coordinate with their employees to ensure timesheets are submitted in enough time for review and approvals. Timesheet approvers who will not be available to review and approve timesheets should communicate with the payroll preparer and alternate approver accordingly.
