Entering, Reviewing, & Submitting Time in Workday

Overview - Reviewing & Submitting Time

All non-exempt employees (excluding union and student employees) will use the Time Tracking app in Workday to log their time. Similar to the timesheets in Self-Service Banner, you are able to enter your time at the end of each week or pay period and submit it for approval.

Employees can enter time:

  • By copying their time from the previous week
  • By loading in their schedule (not available to all employees)
  • On a shift-by-shift basis

Workday tip: You can save "Enter My Time" as a shortcut or Favorite to quickly access this window!

 

To review and submit your timesheet, go to "Enter Time" and view your time calendar. Click "Review", and then "Submit"

  1. From the Workday home page, click on the "Time" or "Time Tracking" application:

  2. Under "Enter Time" click any of the appropriate options. You can enter time directly for "This Week", "Last Week", or you can "Select Week". When using "Select Week", you will be asked to identify a specific date that you would like to enter or review time for.
  3. If time has already been entered for this week, you will see it on your calendar. It will note if the time has been submitted or not.
    • You will also see a "Summary" table that details all of your hours on the timesheet for this pay period.
    • Click "Review" in the bottom-right corner to review all time for this pay period.
  4. On the "Submit Time" window, review your summary of hours and click "Submit"
