How do I correct a student hours exception on my timesheet?

If a student employee works more than 20 hours in a week, a yellow level exception will display on the timesheet:

The exception will trigger on each timesheet that hours over 20 for the week have been worked.  The system looks at all student jobs – including graduate positions – when calculating the hours worked for the week.  You can review time worked on all student jobs on the results tab:

The work week is Sunday through Saturday; for weeks that cross a pay period you may need to change the pay period to view hours worked earlier in the week. 

Note: for graduate positions the work hours are assumed based on the position’s FTE and will not display in the results tab. 

If the hours worked are correct, acknowledge the exception to indicate you understand the policy.  Check the box to acknowledge then save your changes:

Once the timesheet is saved, the exception changes to an informational level message:

On EmpCenter Mobile the process is slightly different.  After accessing the timesheet, click on Messages at the bottom of the page:

In the Messages window, you must click “Acknowledge this message” to indicate you have read the exception and understand the policy:
