5. Type the number of hours worked for each day on the same line as the appropriate earnings code.
   NOTE: When adding time (such as vacation, sick, jury duty, etc.) on a day that has defaulted regular hours displayed, it is important to modify/delete these REG hours for that day before submitting the timesheet for approval. For example, if an employee takes vacation on a day they normally work 7.5 regular hours, you must enter 7.5 hours against the appropriate vacation earnings code and edit the defaulted regular hours for that same day to equal 0.0.

Employees who hold more than one position will have a timesheet for each bi-weekly position. The Department Originator should pay close attention so that time information is entered accurately for each position.
