  2. And go to Time Approval: 

  3. This screen should look familiar to the old interface just slightly zoomed in:

  4. You can zoom out by clicking on the 3 dots in the upper right corner of your web browser and go to Zoom, and minimize the zoom to your preference:

  5. To search by department, add the department org code under department. This should be UOC0XXXX (department 4-digit code). * This can also be done by clicking the magnifying glass under Time Reporter Group and hitting search which will pull in all the people that you’re a supervisor for*:

  6. Under change time in view, I always remove the start date and make the end date the last day of the previous pay period. In this example, the pay period ended on 11/28/24. If you are a time reporting employee, you can reference your timesheet for the current pay period end dates or they can be found in gray on Payroll’s Calendar here: https://payroll.media.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2008/2023/10/2024-Payroll-Calendar.pdf

    2025 is here: https://payroll.media.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2008/2024/12/2025-Payroll-Calendar.pdf

    This is to ensure that we catch all time submitted in the event that an employee submitted time late for a prior pay period:

  7. Once done, hit get employees to get the list of pending employees:

  8. Then click on the employees’ last name highlighted in blue to access their timesheet. If all looks good, click select all and approve:
