If you haven’t already, please submit your November timesheet to your supervisor by the morning of Wednesday, December 2 to ensure that you are paid on Tuesday, December 15. Be sure your name is typed or printed legibly at the top, it is complete and accurate, and you have signed it. Thank you.

Would you please take a few minutes to submit your November time sheet (support staff) or time-off report (administrators) to your supervisor right away? As always, please be sure it is complete (including your ID number), accurate and signed by both you and your supervisor before sending it to HR at Box 6108. (If your supervisor is not available to sign it, please send a copy to HR and keep the original until it has been signed.)
The link on the HR website for staff time sheets is located at georgefox.edu/offices/hr/TimesheetNov09.xls; the administrator time-off report form is located at georgefox.edu/offices/hr/Timeoffreport.doc.
A tip to help you remember to do this each month: Set a recurring appointment on your Outlook calendar for the first business day of each month with a brief notation, “Turn in time sheet.” That gives you one less thing to have to remember.
Student supervisors, please submit your students’ November time sheets to HR right away — by Wednesday, Dec. 2, at noon. If you have any “stragglers,” we will take those as late as Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 2, but there should be very few. Please deliver all other time sheets to HR by Wednesday.
Please be sure the student’s name, ID number and cost center number are legible on each one. Also, don’t forget to sign them and be sure the students did as well. (If the student is not available to sign it this week, please send it without the signature, and HR will contact the student.) Please do not send students to HR to sign their time sheets.
Federal Work Study regulations require that students delivering their own time sheets must have them in a sealed envelope. If you happen to still have any paperwork to submit on a newly hired student, please hand-deliver it right away. We need to set up students in the system before the time sheets arrive.
Thanks very much.
