Submitting Your Timesheet

How to Fill Out Your Timesheet

Follow these instructions to fill out your timesheet. Please note, benefits-eligible faculty and salaried employees will only submit time when leave is taken (i.e. Vacation/Personal, Major Medical, etc.).

1. Log in to myOleMiss using your WebID and password. Click the Employee tab. Then, click the box to maximize the Apps selection box under My HR Tools and select Timesheet.
2. Once the timesheet is displayed, click the pay period you would like to fill out hours for. Enter the number of hours in the appropriate cell. Press Enter/Return on your keyboard to populate the daily and weekly totals. If you are satisfied with your entries, click “Submit for Approval.” 
3. A pop-up box will appear, prompting you to certify that your entries are correct. Click Yes. An email will be automatically generated to your department chair/supervisor notifying them that time has been submitted for their approval.

Timesheet Examples

The examples below illustrate the dos and don’ts for filling out your timesheets.

Example 1

In Example 1, the person tried to record two hours of overtime; however, they cannot because they were on vacation for three days during the same week. Instead, they should follow the bottom example and include all 10 hours on Friday in Regular Scheduled Hours.

Example 2

In Example 2, the employee recorded overtime hours before they actually qualified for overtime. In the second timesheet, you can see that the two hours of overtime are correctly recorded once the employee reached 40 hours.

Example 3

In Example 3, the employee recorded overtime hours before they actually qualified for overtime. In the second timesheet, you can see that the two hours of overtime are correctly recorded once the employee reached 40 hours.
