CNAV Time Sheets Training Manual for Students(printable version)

 

General Overview:

Employees access the CNAV time sheet system after they have been hired into PeopleSoft, given access to CNAV and their timesheet set up by their supervisor.  Until a CNAV time sheet has been created, a paper time sheet should be completed.  Employees are responsible for recording worked hours daily and reviewing and approving the time sheet by the user deadline each period. 

Student employee responsibilities include:

• Recording daily hours (Note: You must enter hours within the pay period or you will not have access to edit your time sheet after Friday at midnight and your supervisor will be required to enter you hours.) For example, if you wait until the day the time sheet is due to the Payroll Office to enter your time, you will not see that time sheet in your list. It will be unavailable to you until after 10:15 a.m. At that time, you will only be able to view it, not enter any data. Also at that time, your supervisor will have access and they will be responsible for filling out your time sheet and approving it. To prevent this you should enter your hours on a daily basis.
• Hours must be entered in the specified format, entering times using a colon and then am or pm without spaces (i.e., 10:00am).
• Confirm with supervisor the deadline for submitting your time sheet for their review and approval (This must be done by 10:00am on the Monday following the end of the pay period).
• Review and approve your time sheet.
• Confirm your supervisor has approved your time sheet. You can do this by selecting the correct pay period (located in the drop down directly above your name) and clicking on the "Preview Time Sheet" link (on the far right side). If you scroll to the bottom of the page and do NOT see one of your supervisor's names behind the "Signature of Supervisor" this means the time sheet has NOT been approved and you may want to remind him/her.

3. Select the appropriate time sheet and pay period to record your hours.

CNAV Time Sheets Training Manual for Supervisors(printable version)

 

General Overview:

Employees can be set up in the CNAV time sheet system after they have been hired into PeopleSoft and have been given access to CNAV.  Supervisors are responsible for setting up each of their employee's time sheets within CNAV.  Until the time sheet is created, a paper time sheet should be completed by the employee. 

Supervisor responsibilities include:

• Notifying payroll of any additions or deletions to your department's supervisor list (you need to be included in the supervisor group before you can access time sheets).
• Creating an employee time sheet within CNAV.

Please note: Setting up your employees within the CNAV System is a one time set up as long as there are no changes to the employee's key information.

• Set an expectation with employees of the deadline you would like their time sheets completed and approved to allow for you to review and approve.
• For employees who worked but did not enter hours on their timesheet during the pay period, you will need to enter appropriate hours (and encourage employee to complete hours daily).
• Review and approve employee(s) time sheet(s) each pay period prior to the payroll deadline. See pay schedules for a list of deadlines. Email reminders are sent out each Monday morning, but it may be helpful to add these deadlines to your calendar as weekly reminders.

FAQ for Supervisors

FAQ for Supervisors(printable version)

1.       I've just created a time sheet, why can't I see it and why can't my employee see it?

When setting up a time sheet instance, the effective date will default to the current pay period, but may take about 5 minutes to appear.

2.       I am trying to create a time sheet but can't see the employee's name in the employee list, why?

Employees can be set up in the CNAV time sheet system after they have been hired into PeopleSoft and have been given access to CNAV.  Until the time sheet is created, a paper time sheet will need to be completed by the employee and submitted on the appropriate due date.

3.       Why aren't all my employees showing in the supervisor processing list?

This list can be found in CNAV/Campus Tools/Time Sheet/My Workers Screen - Supervisor Processing.   If an employee has not entered data or even viewed their time sheet for the pay period, they will NOT appear in the supervisor processing list until after 10:15 a.m.

If an employee has not entered data or even viewed their time sheet for the pay period, the employee will lose access to this time sheet.  For example, if your employee waits until the day the time sheet is due to the Payroll Office to enter their time, they will not see that time sheet in their list.   It will be unavailable to them until after 10:15 a.m.  At that time, they will only be able to view it, not enter any data.  Also at that time, it will appear in your supervisor processing list and you will be responsible for filling out the time sheet and approving it.  To prevent this, you may want to gently remind them to enter time into their time sheet on a daily basis.

4.       Do I need to approve a time sheet with zero hours?

If your employee is a student or casual employee not working over the summer or winter breaks and you can recognize this, no action is necessary.  This is the same with full time employees on short-term disability or workers comp, no action is necessary.  However, if you do see a zero hour time sheet and it is an employee who is on vacation or sick leave, you must modify the time sheet to display this and approve it.

5.       How do I deactivate a time sheet?

Timing is very important in this matter.  You will need to go to CNAV/Campus Tools/Time Sheet/My Workers Screen, click on the individual's time sheet you want to deactivate and then click the edit button at the bottom of the box.   You will now be in that particular individual's time sheet, click on the blue link "edit instance" and change the deactivation date to the next beginning pay period, which, if you're doing this on the last day of a pay period, will be the next day.  When the date rolls over to the next pay period, the time sheet will have an inactive status, thereby locking everyone from it.  Therefore, it is important that you and the employee approve the last time sheet before it is deactivated. 

Some other items to note:

When creating a new time sheet and you do not see your department or your account number in the pull down menu, please email payroll@gettysburg.edu with the department name and/or full account number.
