Student Timesheets

 

The majority of students employed on an hourly basis are paid on a weekly basis.

Submission Deadline

Timesheet claims should be submitted by close of business on Thursdays

Any hours up to and including that Thursday can be included

Assuming they are checked and approved, they will be paid the following Thursday.
