August 1: Changing your direct deposit information
Changes to your direct deposit allocations may be made through PeopleSoft Employee Self-Service. As a security feature, such changes will result in a live check being issued for the next pay cycle, with direct deposit taking effect from that point forward. When viewing your direct deposit payroll transactions on the View Paycheck pages of Employee Self-Service, be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page for complete information.

July 31: Correcting time entry
I. Correcting time that has been entered on a previous day but not yet approved by your supervisor:
1. In the Time Entry screen, hit the "delete" tab to the right of the row(s) you need to delete. Then click SAVE!
2. Exit Time Entry and don’t make any further changes until the following day. This will allow Time Administration to run in the evening and recalculate the hours.
3. On the following day you may add and save the correct information in Time Entry.

II. If time-entry changes need to be made on Monday prior to time approval, or if your supervisor has already approved time that needs to be corrected:
1. Talk to your supervisor and make sure he/she is aware of the situation.
2. Alert the Human Resources Office on your campus and they can help you resolve the problem.
