10. Signing timesheet
At the end of the timesheet period, the employee must “sign” the timesheet, which is then sent to the supervisor for approval.
The signature area is at the bottom of the current timesheet and requires a password as the employee’s signature.
If the timesheet is correct, after reviewing it the supervisor will approve the timesheet. If an error is found on the timesheet, the supervisor will reject the timesheet and will explain to the employee any corrections that need to be made. After the employee has made the correction(s), a signature will again be required.

11. Leave Request
The timesheet system includes a link which you will use to send a leave request to your supervisor.
The link is labeled WORK SCHEDULE. You must place your cursor on the date/dates on which you would like to use leave. With the cursor on the correct date(s), using the cursor, check Vacation and then click on Update. The date will then be shaded in red. When your supervisor has approved your leave, the red date will become green.
