Viewing Payable Time in HRS
Overview
After time is entered and Time Administration has run (4a, 9a, 11a, 1p, 3p and around 8p), the reported time becomes payable time. Payable time is created based on the rules and edits within the Time Administration process and will be processed in payroll to compensate the employee. Payable time may be reviewed through the Payable Time Summary page, Payable Time Details page, or the Approve Payable Time page. Payable Time may only be approved through the Approve Payable Time page and may not be approved through the Payable Time Summary or Detail pages.Process Considerations:
There are two MyUW portals, MyUW Madison and MyUW System, which provide all UW employees access to their Personal, Time and Labor, Absence, Payroll, and Benefit information applications (app). Each app displays personalized employee information stored in the Human Resources System (HRS), as well as links to HRS-Self Service modules and Help information.
UW-Madison: Employees can access the MyUW Madison portal at https://my.wisc.edu/ using their UW-Madison NETID username and password. On the MyUW Madison portal, the Payable Time Detail page can be accessed through the Manager Time and Approval app.
All UW: Employees can access the MyUW System portal at https://my.wisconsin.edu/ using their UW Institutional ID username and password. On the MyUW System portal, the Payable Time Detail page can be accessed through the Manager Self Service - Time Management on the Manager Time and Approval app.
