You may have noticed some changes in the time reporting pages this week. We believe these updates will make the work of a timekeeper more efficient, especially for those managing time for punch & web clock employees. It’s gets us closer to the level of functionality we had before Fluid Time Reporting was implemented.

Time Summary Page

• View by drop down to view different time periods
• Summary grid at the bottom of the page will reflect the period being viewed
• Period (pay period)
• Week
• Biweek
• Month

Enter Time Page

• Elapsed/Punch toggle
• This allows operational users to view time either in the Elapsed view or the Punch view
• This is useful in managing reported time for staff using punch and web clock time collection
• It allows you to navigate to the Elapsed view in order to enter in a full week of PTO rather than adding rows for each day on the Punch view
• Punch totals will not show up on the Elapsed view

1. There are plans to add this in a near future enhancement

Check out our new timekeeper and approver onboarding overview guide. This guide gives you a general overview of the steps involved in onboarding and training a new timekeeper and new approvers.

If anyone is interested in working with us here on the Payroll Team in the Michigan Medicine HR Department please apply to the opening linked above. We support all the UM Health departments (hospitals and health centers) which consist of @20,000 employees and hundreds of timekeepers and approvers. The work we do is in support of accurate and on time paychecks for all employees. If you are interested please apply today!

Employees should always be notified in advance when deductions are set up to come out of their paycheck. U-M is legally obligated to let the employee know a full pay period prior to making any deductions from their pay. This is the responsibility of the department timekeeper or the employee’s supervisor.

Legally, more than 15% of gross earnings cannot be deducted from an employee’s paycheck without authorization from the employee. If the overpayment is more than 6 months old, we are required to have authorization for any deduction. This authorization should be in the form of a Repayment Agreement, which is signed by the employee’s supervisor and the employee, and submitted to a pay analyst at U-M Health Payroll. If we don’t have the proper authorization or can’t get it then the process is to bill them for it. Billing is not typically available for employees who are still active.

Amanda Louks, Payroll Manager (or designee) will be available for “Office Hours” to meet with Timekeepers & Approvers once a week.
