Welcome to the secure web-based Time & Leave Reporting System.
The Time & Leave Reporting (TLR) system is an electronic time recording system that's designed for use by both overtime eligible and overtime ineligible employees at LWIT. Most classified, part-time hourly/temporary, and workstudies (student employees) of LW Tech are overtime eligible and must record all hours worked on the TLR system. Administrators, classified, exempt, and full-time faculty also use TLR to report the leave they have taken.

Submission dates
You must submit TLR timesheets twice a month on the 15th and last working day of the month. If those days fall on a regular day off or weekend, you must submit your timesheet on your last working day before the due date. If you're unsure of the submission dates, please view the due date calendar posted here:
Late submissions
Failure to submit a timesheet to your supervisor and/or to Payroll Services can cause a delay in receiving a paycheck. Payroll Services will process and pay late timesheets that aren't submitted by the deadlines on the next pay cycle.

Who uses TLR
Overtime eligible employees:
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires records to be kept on total hours worked each day and each workweek for overtime eligible employees to determine when they're eligible to receive overtime compensation. By submitting your electronic timesheet you're certifying that the hours reported accurately reflects the hours worked and the leave taken.
Overtime ineligible employees:
Overtime ineligible employees are typically exempt professional-technical, faculty, and administrative staff. Overtime ineligible employees do not report all hours worked but will use TLR to report all leave taken. These employees must input their leave hours for each pay period they have leave transactions. By submitting your leave electronically, you're certifying that the information you reported accurately reflects the leave taken.
Note: This does not include part-time faculty (PTF) unless you have an additional hourly job. Only the hours worked for your hourly job will be processed through TLR.
Who is responsible
There are 3 main layers for accurately reporting on TLR which consists of the:
-
Employee
-
Supervisor
-
Payroll Services
The employee has responsibility to correctly record time worked/leave taken and submit the record to their supervisor. The supervisor has responsibility to review the accuracy of information reported, approve the time record, and submit it to Payroll. Payroll has responsibility to process the approved TLR record.
Employee:
Primary responsibility for accurately recording time belongs to the individual employee. You have responsibility to ensure you record your time correctly, reflecting proper labor charges, vacation, time and absences, etc. You also have responsibility to submit your timesheet by the due dates on the Payroll calendar located above on this page. By submitting your timesheet electronically, you're certifying that the timesheet accurately reflects how your time was spent during the week.
To carry out this obligation, you must:
-
Record your time after you have worked
-
Be accurate and precise in recording your hours
-
Follow procedures for completing time-keeping records and correcting errors
-
Submit your timesheet in TLR by the due dates (see the "Due dates" section for more info)
-
Above all, if you're unsure about any aspect of your obligations, don't guess...ASK!
Supervisor:
Supervisors also play a critical role on TLR. The primary supervisor shares responsibility to ensure timesheet accuracy with the employee. Alternate supervisors function as back approvers if the primary supervisor isn't available. By submitting the timesheet electronically, the supervisor is certifying that the timesheet accurately reflects the number of hours the employee worked.
Specifically, supervisors must:
-
Know where to find the budget number used to segregate time charges for their employee(s)
-
Train and ensure all employees under their supervision understand proper time reporting procedures
-
Maintain a workplace environment that encourages honesty and makes employees feel free to ask questions if they're not sure of proper time reporting procedures
-
Review the timesheets to ensure all employees under their supervision have the correct budget number and that the correct chain of command is listed for each work assignment.
-
Approve the timesheet by submitting it to Payroll Services, which certifies that the timesheet accurately reflects the number of hours the employee reported
