Winter Holiday Timesheet Instructions

We hope you had a wonderful holiday! Below you will find time entry instructions for dates worked from December 24, 2023, through January 6, 2024.


Timesheet submission and approvals are due by Tuesday, January 9 for dates worked December 24, 2023, through January 6, 2024. This timesheet is for payday January 19, 2024.


Time Approvers

The following directions differ per employee classification, and will be helpful for your approvals to ensure accurate time reporting. You can filter your Time Entry Approvals in MyISU by “Not Started” to see who has not submitted a timesheet for the pay period. This will be especially useful for time reporting during the closed week (12/24/2023 - 12/30/2023). Please reach out to payroll if you have any questions on how to do this. 

Instructions by Employee Classification

If you are not sure what classification you fall under, please contact payroll (payroll@isu.edu, x2517) and we will be happy to help.
