Banner HR/Payroll FAQs - Approver/Proxy
There are deadlines for employee time entry as well as for the Approver to approve for payroll.
If the employee is unable to start or complete his/her time sheet, please contact the Office of Human Resources. One of the Superusers there will start or open the employee’s time sheet/leave report, and send it to you for completion and/or approval.
As an Approver, send it back for correction.
If you have already approved the time sheet, it has been submitted to Payroll. The approver must notify Payroll.
Historical time sheets and leave reports are available through the Approver channel for four months through self-service.
If you are unable to perform your duties as an Approver, please notify your Proxy to act on your behalf. Make sure that appropriate security access has been given to your Proxy.
Yes, there are two different approval queues.
You will need to communicate directly with your Proxy if you need him/her to approve the time sheets/leave reports for your queue.
Leave balances should be checked before granting a leave request. For exempt and non-exempt employees, if it will result in a negative balance the employee will be docked Leave with out Pay for any negative balances.
Always return it for correction provided there is sufficient time to do so, but if any changes are made by the approver it must be documented in the comments section and an email sent to the employee and cc payroll@apsu.edu with an explanation.
The time worked should not be entered on the time sheet if time is taken off (compensatory time) in lieu of pay. Compensatory time can only be taken in the same pay period. If time worked exceeds 40 hours in a work week, the time off must equal one and one half times the hours worked over 40.
