General Announcements

Additional Sessions for New Web Time Entry System

Everyone is invited to several hands-on open labs about our upcoming move to a new web time entry system. Now that we have made the transition it is a great time to sharpen your skills in the system.

The key benefits of the new web time entry system are:

- no Java except for what is in your coffee mug
- easy time entry for students with multiple jobs
- supervisors able to view time worked by student workers in all jobs
- up to the minute benefit accrual time information on the main screen showing time taken, available and requested
- easier reporting options for supervisors

The new time entry system is the place where the benefit accrual time is calculated each pay period for the benefit-eligible employees. It is the main keeper of the benefit accruals.

Hands-on training sessions are listed below. These will be open labs. Come when you want and leave when you want.

Employee-focused sessions:

Friday June 6, 12 noon - 3 p.m., Sverdrup 201 Computer Lab (NEW!)

Supervisor-focused sessions (NEW!):

Thursday May 29, 1 - 2 p.m., Sverdrup 205 Computer Lab
Thursday June 5, 12 noon - 2 p.m., Sverdrup 205 Computer Lab

If you have any questions please let myself or Theresa Gade (gade@augsburg.edu) know.
