ESS Timesheet Entry
The ESS Timesheet Entry page is found in the Left Navigation under the My Time section.
Navigating the Timesheet Entry Screen
Use the Mini Calendar to click on a date. The entire Pay Period containing this date will be highlighted.
The Pay Period selected in the Mini Calendar will populate the same dates in the Big Calendar.
Note: Companies will pay their employees at different Pay Periods (Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Semi-Monthly or Monthly). Depending on your Companies setup, you may have additional Tabs representing each week in the Pay Period.
It’s important when filling in Timesheets that you make entries for each week by choosing the correct tabs.
