Web Time Entry

 Faculty are now required to submit a Leave Taken Report through Web Time Entry.

Example: You will be entering any sick leave taken between 9/16 – 10/15/2025 or if you didn’t take any sick leave within that window please indicate in the comments section “No Leave Taken – Pay Period 9/16 – 10/15/2025”. Then submit to your supervisor for approval.

Start in WOU Portal. Click on the cute little experience button toward the upper right quadrant:

Within Experience, open the Employee Menu. If you haven’t played around with Experience before, then click on “View All Cards” in the upper right and you’ll see the Employee Menu card. Open your Employee Dashboard:

On the right side of your dashboard you will see a blue button that says “Enter Time.” Click that.

A calendar will pop up. Click ANY day before and up to October 15th. That will generate the following image:

If multiple employees are utilizing the same computer to record Web Time Entry, have users utilize a private browser when logging in. This will prevent the search engine from utilizing cached information from another user.

Leave Balance Information in Self-Service

Leave Balance Information displayed on the Employee Dashboard are updated online after payroll processing is completed. This typically occurs between the 25th and 27th of each month, but will vary. Your Leave Balance Information reflects the leave accrued and used as reported through Web Time Entry during the last reporting period (16th-15th).

The following status will appear in the top-left corner of your timesheet.

• Not Started – Timesheet is not started.
• In Progress (purple) – Employee is entering time on timesheet.
• Pending (blue) – Employee has submitted their timesheet for approval by supervisor.
• Returned (red) – Supervisor has returned timesheet to employee for correction.
• Approved (green) – Supervisor has approved timesheet.
• Completed (green) – Timesheet has been loaded into payroll.
• Error (red) – Timesheet has an error. See error message at the top of the screen for more information.

Employees

• Review your timesheet for accuracy prior to submission.
• Timely submit timesheet in accordance to the submission deadline for your Employee Class.

Supervisors / Approvers

• Verify timely submission of all your employees’ timesheets.
• Review all submitted timesheets in detail. It is the responsibility of the approver to ensure all earn codes applied to your employees’ timesheet are applicable to their employment in accordance with University Policy and/or the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement
• Review submissions quickly, allowing time for corrections prior to the approval deadline.
• If you are unavailable to approve timesheets for a time period, designate a proxy to perform your responsibility. Reach out to Human Resources timely to set-up the proxy functionality.

The following are earn codes that are available by Employee Class. Please note that not all employees are eligible for each earn code in the Employee Class. Please refer to University Policy and/or the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement to determine the earn codes that you are eligible to use.

• Timesheet – A timesheet refers to the Web Time Entry reporting function. A “timesheet” is utilized by all employee classes, whether that employee only reports exception time (commonly referred to as a “leave report”) or the employee reports all time worked.
• Earn Code – An earn code refers to the specific code that will be recorded in payroll. An earn code can be utilized to report leave without pay, differentials, accrued leave taken, medical leave taken, hours worked, and more.
• Units vs. Hours – Each earn code is set-up to report in “units” or “hours”. “Units” refers to a number of hours. For example, entering 3 hours of sick leave in Web Time Entry is the equivalent to entering 3 units of sick leave. “Hours” refers to a specific time start/end for an earn code that Web Time Entry then utilizes to calculate hours. For example, working from 08:00 AM to 12:00PM translates to 4 hours of work. In general, units are utilized to report leave taken, while hours are utilized to report differentials, overtime, and hours worked.
