Time sheet access for the fall semester
As the fall semester quickly approaches, we want to remind everyone that it is time to submit hiring proposals for your student workers and other employees who will be filling out time sheets. This is the first step necessary to insure all employees have access to their time sheets in Etrieve and get paid on time. Also, be aware of the employment end dates on hiring proposals for current employees; a new proposal may need to be completed.
Instructions on how to complete and submit a time sheet can be found on the LLCC Finance SharePoint page > Payroll. Please share this information with any of your employees that need assistance.
If you have any questions or require additional information please contact Viki Bradley, disbursements manager at victoria.bradley@llcc.edu or 786-4931.
