Reporting Time with Self-Service Time and Attendance (ePostcard #2)

Self-Service Time and Attendance (SSTA) is new technology for reporting time. You will start using Self-Service Time and Attendance beginning (date). With SSTA you will report and submit your time online in an online timesheet, or will clock in and out via a Time Collection Device (TCD). Once you submit your time, your supervisor (i.e., time approver) will review and approve your time online. No more paper timesheets! 

Reporting your time is easy! Here is what you can expect.

Online Time Entry

The steps to enter time in your online timesheet are easy!

1. Login to the SSTA website

2. Review and make any changes to your pre-populated schedule, including reporting vacation, sick or personal time

3. Click Submit!

As an added benefit, with SSTA, you may view your leave balances, including Vacation, Personal, Sick, and Comp Time (if you are eligible to receive Comp Time) on your online timesheet in real time. Simply login and view your timesheet. Your balances are located at the bottom of the page.
