Time Approval for Temporary Employees

Time Approval for Temp Employees 

All temporary employees are bi-weekly paid and are required to enter their own time online. The UMSI HR Office (umsi.human.resources@umich.edu) will send email reminders to temps indicating the deadline date of when time should be entered and approved.

At the University of Michigan, temporary staff are not paid unless their time is entered AND approved by the deadline.  Any changes/entries not approved by the deadline will become prior period adjustments and will be processed in the next reporting period.  See the links within the Supervisor Time Approval document for the links to the Payroll Deadlines website.

Temporary employees are not eligible for holiday, vacation, or sick time. They should not be working on a University holiday; as you may be required to offer them 1.5 times their normal rate. If a temporary employee works over 40 hours per calendar week, they are owed overtime pay. Please see SPG or ask UMSI HR if you have any questions.

Instructions for Time Approval:

Please see the Supervisor Time Approval instructions page for how to approve time in the MPathways system. There is also training available on MyLinc:  TLE130 - Approve Employees' Time.

If you have any questions about time approvals or would like UMSI HR to provide a short tutorial, please email umsi.human.resources@umich.edu.
