Approving Hours in TCP

Supervisor Reminder: Approving Student Hours in TimeClock Plus 

Deadline: Supervisors must review and approve student hours each Monday by 12:00 noon in TimeClock Plus. Reviewing hours throughout the week, especially if you manage multiple student employees, helps prevent errors and ensures timely payroll. 

Unapproved hours = delayed paychecks. Approve weekly to support your student workers! 

Best Practice Tips 

  • Add recurring reminders on your Google Calendar (Friday afternoons and Monday mornings). 
  • Use recurring Google Tasks for approval reminders, these stay visible until marked complete. 
  • Designate a back-up approver if you’ll be out of the office or unavailable during payroll deadlines. 
  • Encourage students to submit hours on time (by Sunday night) so you can review first thing Monday morning.
