Self-Service Time Entry

Summary

This article goes over how to submit time through self-service portal.

Body

Deadline: Both weekly time sheets must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday after the end of the Pay Period.
1. Accessing Your Time Sheet
  1. Log in to Self-Service (selfservice.olivet.edu) or access it via My Olivet (my.olivet.edu → Self-Service menu → Self-Service Home).
  2. Click Employee, then click Time Entry.
  3. Click on the appropriate week to enter your time. (Note: Each pay period consists of two separate weekly time sheets.)

2. Entering Regular Hours
  • Clock-In and Clock-Out: Click inside the boxes under the appropriate day to manually type your time or select a time from the pop-up menu.
    • Top row: Clock-in time
    • Bottom row: Clock-out time

  • Multiple Shifts / Lunch Breaks: If you clock in multiple times per day, a “+” symbol will appear as soon as you enter your first clock-in and clock-out times. Click the “+” to open a new clock-in and clock-out section for that day.

  • Reviewing Totals:
    • Position Total Hours displays the total hours worked between clock-in and clock-out for the day.
    • This can also be found in the Weekly Totals banner under Daily Total Hours.
  • Saving Your Time: Your time will save automatically after a few seconds, but always verify that it is saved (or click Save manually) in the upper-right corner of your time sheet before logging out.
3. Leave Time Entry (If Applicable)
Note: This section is only for employees who are eligible for leave time.
  • Checking Available Leave Balances: Click View Leave Balances at the top right of your screen.
    • These balances do not include any time entered on the current time period.
    • Scroll down inside the window to see your Personal leave balance.
    • For Vacation, only the Balance column is accurate. The Starting Balance, Earned, and Used columns are not accurate because vacation leave is not updated on January 1 for all employees.
  • Entering Leave Hours:
    1. Click the + Additional Time box on your time sheet to open a new time entry section.
    2. Click Choose Earn Type and select the appropriate earnings type from the drop-down menu (e.g., Sick, Vacation, Bi-Weekly Holiday, Bi-Weekly Personal).

    1. Once selected, the section will update. Input the total number of leave hours you took into the box for that day.
    2. To add another leave type, click the + Additional Time box again and repeat the steps above.

4. Saving and Submitting
  • Supervisor Comments: If you wish to leave a note for your supervisor, click the Comments button.
  • Submitting for Approval: When your timecard is complete at the end of the pay period, click Submit for Approval. This must be done for both weeks separately.
    • Note: If there is an error on your time sheet, you will not be able to submit it.
  • Email Notifications & Edits:
    • Submitting a time sheet sends an automatic email confirmation to both you and your supervisor.
    • You can un-submit and edit your time sheet at any time until your supervisor approves it.
    • Once your supervisor clicks Approve or Reject, you will receive an automatic email notification.
    • If Approved: The time sheet is locked and can no longer be edited.
    • If Rejected: The time sheet is re-opened for editing. Click Comments to see your supervisor's notes, make the necessary corrections, and click Submit for Approval again.
