FAQs
When should employees log time in Ecotime?
Timesheets should be completed as soon as possible to allow supervisors time to approve. Employees do not need to wait until the end of the pay period to enter time off, leaves, or “complete” their timesheet.
The monthly timekeeping deadlines are here: Payroll Timekeeping Deadline Schedule
