​Biweekly Employees: January 17, 2026 Timesheet Early Deadline Reminder
Due to the upcoming Martin Luther King holiday on Monday, January 19, 2026, biweekly timesheets for the 01/04/26 – 01/17/26 pay period must be finalized (submitted and approved) no later than 10:00 am on Friday, 01/16/26.

Special Instructions: Time entry for the 01/04/26 – 01/17/26 pay period should be a combination of actual hours worked prior to timesheet submittal, as well as projected hours and/or leave taken. Not doing so may result in these hours being paid on a subsequent paycheck. If you need to change projected hours after returning from the holiday, please click the amend button on your timesheet, make updates, then notify your supervisor for approval. The adjusted hours will be paid on the check following receipt of the information.

Special Instructions for Student Work-Study jobs: During the academic year when Work-Study is available, federal regulations prohibit projection of hours on Work-Study funds. If you need to add hours actually worked after returning from a holiday, click the amend button on your timesheet, make updates, then notify your supervisor for approval. The adjusted hours will be paid on the check following receipt of the information.

Swiping Employees with ID Cards in Dining Units: Staff with Employee ID cards and students with Student ID cards that are used to swipe time will not see a schedule change in their reporting of hours worked. To meet payroll deadlines and ensure on-time pay, biweekly timesheets for swipers must be finalized (submitted and approved) no later than 2:00 pm on Sunday, 01/18/26.​

If you have any questions about your timesheets, please contact your Timekeeper.​​
