HRM: Get paid on time

May 13, 2022

Banner: HRM Update.

With the onboarding season, the number of late timesheets has increased and is creating pay problems.

What You Need to Do

Make sure to submit your T&A by 5 p.m. Central Time no later than the Tuesday following the end of the pay period. This helps to make sure you are paid on time. If you submit after the Tuesday deadline, your paycheck may be late. We post the missing T&A report every day when timesheets are due to help supervisors and units manage their timesheets. Units should review the report each pay period and submit the applicable personnel action if the employee is no longer with the Forest Service.

Important Sections to Verify

  • Time codes
  • Hours entered
  • Not to Exceed dates
  • Appointment hours
  • Job override code
  • The number of days in quarters
  • Leave balances

More Reminders

  • Code Telework as:
    • Regular telework (core): Descriptor Code 11, Transaction Code 01.
    • Unscheduled telework (situational): Descriptor Code 17, Transaction Code 01.
  • Code all of your time properly, including leave, telework, overtime and other premium pay.
  • A completed overtime authorization, FS-6100-30 form, Incident Time Report or OF-288, should be on file for any overtime recorded.
  • More resources are available on the HRM Pay webpage, including the T&A Guide for Supervisors.
