NEVADA AND CALIFORNIA NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES: Please refer to CA & NV-specific guidance for time entry.

Enter Time in Workday (Non-Exempt* & Exempt Employees)

There are two ways to enter time within Workday. You can enter hours worked for each day of the week, or use "Quick Add" to add your hours worked.  

*See guidance pertaining specifically to non-exempt (hourly) staff.

1. Once you are on your Workday landing page, click the Menu at the upper left. Select the Time icon.  

...then choose “This Week,” “Last Week,” or “Select Week,” which allows you to select the date range you would like to enter information.

2. From the ‘Enter Time’ page, you can enter time by clicking inside of any day of the week, or by clicking Actions —> Enter Time towards the top right of the screen.

3. You must then complete all fields of the ‘Enter Time’ field marked with a red asterisk (*). See below for instructions on completing each field.  

Time Type: This field will default to normal “Hours” worked. This is also where you will indicate hours worked on Lobbying, LEE, or Selection efforts. For detailed information on coding these hours, visit the Coding Time to LEE, Lobbying, or Selection page. You’ll also use this field to indicate “Time Off.” See the Requesting Time Off section for more information on this process. Hours: Enter the number of hours worked. If you work in California or Nevada, please refer to this guidance before entering your hours. Comment: Optional space for notes to your approving manager NOTE: Workday has an auto-save feature, meaning you do not have to save your hours each time you enter them, all work is saved upon entry into the system.

4. Repeat the time entry process for every day of the week you worked and have hours to log. Your timesheet should look similar to this:

5. When you are ready to submit your timesheet for the week, click the “Submit” button located in the bottom left corner. This sends your timesheet to your manager for approval. 

6. Click “Submit” again to confirm your hours are correct. If you need to make changes, select “Cancel” to return to the ‘Enter Time’ screen. You may also add comments here if you would like to note something on your timesheet for your approving manager.
