Timesheets go through several stages during a payroll period.
Not Started - At the beginning of each pay period until it is opened by the employee.
In Progress (purple) - When the employee opens the timesheet to record work hours and has not yet submitted
it for approval. Entries must be "saved" while adding them and "submit" should not
be done until the entire pay period is complete.
Pending (light blue) - Timesheet has been submitted to the supervisor and is pending for their approval.
The employee can no longer enter or update hours unless the supervisor returns it.
Returned for Correction (yellow) - The employee can make adjustments and resubmit
Approved (green) - The supervisor has approved the timesheet.
Completed (green) - Payroll has run and pulled in the timesheet hours for processing. No changes can
be made to the timesheet at this point.

Approval of work and leave hours is typically done twice per month, once around the 16th (for the 1st-15th of the month) and once around the 1st of the month (for the 16th-the end of the previous month). The actual approval deadlines for timesheets are listed on the payroll webpage for hourly (TH) and student (SD). The deadlines for approving leave reports can be found on the HR webpage. Due to special events, including holidays, student timesheet dates may not always end on the 15th of the month, refer to the payroll calendar for modifications to typical dates. While faculty/staff are paid the 1st and the 16th of each month, student check dates will vary, but are typically paid around the 10th and 24th of each month.

A Proxy is an employee who will act on your behalf as a supervisor/approver of time sheets or leave reports for your employees. You should only select a proxy that would be able to confirm the hours reported. The proxy will not receive notification that a time sheet or leave report is pending for them to approve. You will need to advise the proxy when you will not be able to approve and let them know which employee time/leave they will need to review and when the deadline is. Instructions below show how to add or remove a proxy as well as how to access time/leave records as a proxy.
Employees have deadlines for submitting timesheets and leave reports. There are two pay periods per month, the 1st-15th and the 16th through month end.
