Employees should NOT begin work before all hiring paperwork is submitted and processed by Talent Management and Culture or E1S Processing. If correctly completed hiring paperwork is not submitted and approved by the published deadlines, no payroll record can be established, and employees cannot be paid. No automatic manual paychecks will be processed due to late paperwork (including web timesheets).
A new payroll schedule is posted each calendar year. The payroll schedule shows important information and deadlines associated with hiring paperwork and approver deadlines. The schedule is divided by quarters and crosses fiscal years.
If correctly completed hiring paperwork (E-1, E-1SU, E-1SG, EPAFS etc.) and/or Web Time Entry time sheets are not submitted to Talent Management and Culture and/or Payroll by the published deadlines, employees cannot be paid.
Use the payroll schedule to determine when your hiring paperwork (either hard copy or EPAF actions) must be submitted.
Please refer to the Web Time Entry submission schedules for WTE submission deadlines.
