HRMS Top 5 Topics of the Week

#1 - REPORTED VS. CALCULATED TIME – TIME APPROVAL & PAY IMPLICATIONS

If you enter time or if you are someone who approves time cards for their team, then this is an important message for you!

When an employee creates a time card and enters the number of hours they have worked in the Human Resource Management System (HRMS), the entered hours are recorded as Reported time. These hours do not take into account meal break deductions, that the employee’s regular hours are subject to.

To view the number of regular hours that are captured in the system after meal deductions, the employee must look at their Calculated time within HRMS by clicking on the glasses icon next to their submitted time card.

For anyone who approves time cards for their team, it is important to review the Calculated time for an employee’s time card by clicking on the glasses icon next to their time card submission. Calculated time is time element that is used for approval and payroll calculations.

#2 - TIME ENTRY USING MANAGE TIME CARDS OPTION & TIME APPROVAL

The HRMS team recommends carefully following the instructions found on the HRMS Knowledge Base (KB) on how-to Create a Time Card (Using Manage Time Cards) option to submit your time cards, in order to ensure accurate submission and timely approval.

Employees: Be sure to SUBMIT your time cards through the HRMS once you have completed your time entries for the week. Good practice is to do this every Friday, however, these submissions are due every second Friday by 2 p.m. (see payroll calendar for deadlines)

Note - Any time card left in an Entered or Saved status will not be available to managers for approvals. To check the status of your time cards, follow the instructions found on the Search Time Card HRMS KB article.

Managers: Be sure to review and select APPROVE for employee’s time cards through the HRMS every second Tuesday by 5 p.m. (see payroll calendar for deadlines)

Link for the payroll calendar can be found on the hrs.humber.ca website.

#3 - CREATE TIME CARD – PAYROLL TIME TYPE​

If you do not see Regular Hourly option under the Payroll Time Type drop-down menu when creating a time card, then please contact Nina Simons by sending an email to nina.simons@humber.ca as your time card will need to be refreshed by HR.

#4 - MY BENEFITS ENROLLMENT FORM
