If there are no changes to the charge
code information or hours, the employee should sign the timesheet by clicking
the "Sign" toolbar button. If the timesheet
requires changes, the employee should follow the Revised
Timecard procedures.
The direct reporting manager should notify the employee that a temporary timecard has been created and that the employee should review and sign the timesheet if it is accurate. If the employee signs the timesheet without making changes the status of the timecard will remain "Processed" and no further action is necessary assuming that the timesheet was approved by a manager in the employee's chain of command. Regardless of whether an employee makes change to a timesheet prior to signing, if the approval for the timesheet was outside the chain of command, it must be re-approved.
If the timesheet is not accurate the employee should be instructed to fill out a Revised Timecard. The manager or someone in the chain of command must approve the revised timecard.
During each pay period, to ensure Temporary Timesheets are replaced by original timesheets, managers should review the "ET Revised Timesheet" report on CACINet. The report shows employees that have a timesheet in the "Signed" status in prior periods.
During each pay period, managers should also review the "Outside Chain of Command" report on the CACINet. This report shows timesheets approved outside the chain of command. If a manager's direct report appears on the report the manager should access that employee's timesheet in WebET following the instructions in the Timesheet Approval section.
