Entering Absences (Timeclock & SEMS)
At our District Secretarial meeting today, we discussed payroll and what the responsibility is of staff in regards to clocking in/out and requesting leave. HR and payroll both agreed that staff need to submit requests through the time clock! This includes hourly staff and teachers. Their theory is if you can send an email to say you’re going to be gone for whatever reason, you’re also able to go in through the time clock and request your time. They do not want secretaries to have to do that. If you’re sick, you have a child sick, you know you’re going to be gone, etc you NEED to put that request through the time clock. You are responsible for your own time. This also allows you to see your leave balances as well.
If you’re having problems submitting a request whatever reason you can email me and I can assist in adding it. If you are gone and you do not submit a request of leave through the time clock and there’s no email/voicemail saying that you’ll be gone and what time you would like to use, I will not be adding it and trying to guess what you would like to use. HR and payroll are trying to hold staff accountable for their own hours/requests.
Reminder to Paras and hourly staff; you may access the time clock by; Cell phone, Computer with internet service, Time-clock machine.
Payroll is hoping that it might help alleviate the number of missed punch in/outs. Please see me if you need assistance in locating the webclock on the district page. As always, please fill out a pink form if needed and turn it to me.
