Overtime-eligible classified and overtime-eligible exempt employees use ctcLink to report their time worked. 

• Entering Time - Overtime-Eligible Classified or Overtime-Eligible Exempt Employees
• Exempt employees normally do not report time worked, unless you have been designated as overtime eligible. If working less than full time for the week (40 hours for most), an absence request (sick, vacation, leave without pay, etc.,) must be submitted.

For overtime-eligible classified and overtime-eligible exempt employees, it is important to follow the following guidelines for entering time on a holiday (contact HR if you have questions):

Managers need to approve timesheets (aka payable time) for their classified, overtime-eligible exempt, hourly, student employees (and volunteers). Hourly and student employees are only paid for time reported through ctcLink and that their manager approves.

Deadlines:

Note:

• Timesheets for a pay period can be submitted and approved multiple times if changes need to be made.
• HR encourages hourly and student employees to submit their time worked each day. Managers can approve time as it is submitted or weekly, and do not need to wait until the end of the pay period to approve.
