Terminal Input for Hourly Payroll


Cutoff Dates for Terminal Input


Hourly Time Entry - PP Screen


    1. Enter University ID number - Individual’s name will appear. Never type in a name. If the name does not appear, either the person has not signed up for payroll in the Office of Human Resource Services (3810 Beardshear) or an incorrect University ID number is being used.
    2. Enter Funding Account and rate - This only has to be done the first time an individual is to be paid or if there is a change to the funding account or rate.
    3. Enter daily data - Enter data to the nearest 10th of an hour; decimal points are not necessary, the computer will automatically put them in when the enter key is hit. The computer will automatically total the entries and shift any hours above 40.0 per week to overtime.
    4. The terminal will display the last day to enter hours each pay period.
    5. For H-base employees, enter any vacation, sick leave, or comp time usage and payouts to the nearest 10th of an hour on the “CURRENT” line at the bottom of the screen.
    6. Each screen is capable of four lines of input. To get to a second or third line, press the F12 key.
    7. If more than four lines of input are needed, use the sequence # field to the right of the University ID Number, i.e. “02”, “03”. Each sequence will show four more lines.
    8. If changing a work study rate, make sure it has been approved by Financial Aid first.
    9. To delete a line on the PP screen, highlight the line to be deleted by using the F12 key. Place the curser on the first number of the fund account (there should be no entries for this line), enter the letter D and hit enter. The line will be deleted.

CWD Hours


    Carry forward hours are the balance of the hours from week 1 that were paid in the previous pay period. The system looks at these hours when calculating OT for that week.
